The polishing of optical fibres is demonstrated using an abrasive polishing wheel. The approach requires that only the fibre itself is polished and allows arbitrarily long interaction lengthsto be generated with losses of less than 0.1 dB.

Inspec keywords: optical losses; optical workshop techniques; optical fibres; polishing

Other keywords: polishing; motor-driven polishing wheel; optical fibres; 0.1 dB; low loss type
