ASTM E1653 – Standard Guide for Specifying Dynamic Characteristics of Optical Radiation Transmitting Fiber Waveguides

1.1”This guide covers the key parameters that determine the dynamic performance of an optical radiation transmitting fiber waveguide (see Note 1). For the purpose of this guide, optical radiation is electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths from about 200”’nm to about 5000 nm (correspondingly, frequencies of 50”’000 cm^”’1 to 2000 cm^”’1, and photon energies of 6 eV to 0.25 eV).

Note 1:”Typical designations of radiation transmitting fiber waveguides include optical waveguide, fiber-optic, fiber-optic waveguide, and fiber-optic radiation guide.
