Summary: | We report on successful refractive index profiling of commercially available step-index and in-house made graded-index multimode specialty optical fibers by means of X-ray computed microtomography. Our results demonstrate that the latter is an advantageous technique for characterizing large core optical fibers, which allows for retrieving information about the refractive index at optical frequencies by exploiting the absorption coefficient of X-rays. |
