Characterization and Measurement

Acreo has extensive resources and equipment for characterization of optical fibers, optical fiber preforms and fiber components. Some resources are listed below.

The laboratories are equipped with instrumentation for developing and testing optical components in general, and optical fiber and fiber-based components in particular.

Equipment includes systems and setups for most types of optical and electrical characterization of fibers and components, and reliability measurements.
