Abstract
A method for determining optical properties of an optical fiber including providing optical fibers having varying values of an optical property, measuring values of the optical property of the fibers, selecting one of the fibers as a reference fiber, determining the relative backscatter coefficient of the fibers compared to the reference optical fiber, correlating data obtained in step ii) with data obtained in step iv) to obtain a calibration curve showing a correlation between the Rrel and the values of the optical property of the optical fibers, measuring the Rrel of another optical fiber compared to the reference fiber, and determining a value of the optical property of the another optical fiber based on the calibration curve obtained in step v).
