| Abstract: | Abstract Several optical properties of a concentric-core fiber are examined. These include attenuation, radiation patterns, pulse broadening, index profile, backscatter signatures, and capture fraction. Experimental techniques are briefly described, and the significance of the measured parameters is discussed. |
