Effect of Contamination and Surface Defects on Optical Performance of Lensed Fiber Interconnects
AIR7450
This document provides the results of experimental measurements and analytical modeling of the effects of contamination and other defects on the surfaces of lenses in aerospace lens-based interconnects.
Rationale: This SAE Aerospace Information Report is intended to provide model and experimentally derived information of the effect contamination on optical performance that may be used to derive Pass/Fail criteria for visual inspection of lensed interconnect surfaces.
