Abstract

In the present paper an optical technique is described to measure non-invasively the diameter and refractive index of a transparent (glass or polymer) fiber that possess a circular cross-section. The method is based on an inverse analysis of the rainbow, which is formed by light scattering of low temporal coherency. This enables to achieve unambiguous mathematical relationships between fringe structure of the rainbow and the fiber.
