Return
loss
is
another
important
factor
.
It
is
a
measure
of
reection:
the
less
reection
the
better
(the
larger
the
return
loss
,
the
smaller
the
reection).
The
best
physically
contacting
connectors
have
return
losses
better
than
40
dB
,
although
20
to
30
dB
is
more
common.
Causes
of
connector
loss
and
reections
include
core
misalignment,
dierences
in
the
numerical
aperture
of
two
bers
,
spacing
and
air
gaps
,
reections
caused
by
damaged,
worn,
or
loose
ber
ends
,
and
the
improper
use
and
removal
of
index
matching
compounds
.
A
chieving
the
best
possible
connection,
where
the
ber
end
faces
are
ush
(no
air
gap)
and
properly
aligned,
depends
on
two
things:
1.
the
type
of
connector
.
2.
using
the
proper
cleaning
and
connecting
techniques
.
If
the
connection
is
lossy
or
reective
,
light
will
not
make
a
smooth
transition.
If
the
transition
is
not
smooth
or
the
connection
is
not
repeatable
,
measurement
data
will
be
less
accurate
.
F
or
this
reason,
lightwave
connections
can
make
a
critical
dierence
in
optical
measurement
systems
.
