* The third adds stripping the cladding before polishing.
* The third adds stripping the cladding before polishing.
The reason for the multiple cuts of the fibers is to increase the loss of photons. The increased loss of photons will make it easier to identify small changes in the transmission rate between the fibers polished the three different ways. The epoxy used is 20-3238. Being tested right now is the rough polished fiber. Testing is not yet complete but preliminary rough estimates show that there is approximately a 73% transmission through the rough fiber compared to the control. A graph and proper analysis will be posted by Wednesday afternoon.

* Note: This is only testing the relative transmission rates. All percentages of transmission loss is acquired by comparing to the control fiber.
