A method for measuring the axial residual stress profile in axisymmetric optical fibers is presented. The procedure is based on integrated photoelasticity and a fringe shifting technique is used to measure the optical retardation. The radial distribution of the axial residual stress is reconstructed using the inverse Abel transform.

Abstract
A method for measuring the axial residual stress profile in axisymmetric optical fibers is presented. The procedure is based on integrated photoelasticity and a fringe shifting technique is used to measure the optical retardation. The radial distribution of the axial residual stress is reconstructed using the inverse Abel transform. The paper describes the operating principle, the experimental setup and the results obtained on a multimode fiber are also reported. The influence of the measurement errors is finally discussed.File in questo prodotto:
