Measurement ''round robins'' support fiber standards development

January 1, 2006
Author(s)
Timothy J. Drapela
Interlaboratory measurement comparisons, or round robins, are a useful diagnostic tool during the standards-development process. The NIST Optoelectronics Division has coordinated, or provided data analysis for, numerous round robins for the fiberoptics

The NIST Traceable Reference Material Program for Wavelength Reference Absorption Cells

August 1, 2003
Author(s)
Timothy J. Drapela, Sarah L. Gilbert, William C. Swann, Chih-Ming Wang
A program is described by which commercially produced wavelength-calibration gas-absorption cells may be related to primary standards maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Standard Reference Materials produced by NIST

A Statistical Model for Cladding Diameter of Optical Fibers

April 1, 2003
Author(s)
Chih-Ming Wang, Timothy J. Drapela
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has developed a contact micrometer for accurate measurement of optical-fiber outer diameter. The contact micrometer is used to measure reference fibers which are artifacts used by the telecommunications
