Abstract
We describe a low-coherence interferometric method for measuring the transit time in optical fiber delay lines as long as 1.5 km. Group delays in 100 m standard reference fibers can be determined with an expanded uncertainty of about 4 ps (1 mm) and a resolution of 0.15 ps (0.03 mm). The principal limitations of this approach are identified and discussed.Proceedings Title
