    Abstract: A method of measuring the bandwidth of a multi-mode optical fiber using single-ended, on-line and off-line approaches and test configurations. The method includes: transmitting a light signal through the first end of a multi-mode fiber toward the second end of the multi-mode fiber, so that a portion of the light signal is reflected by the second end toward the first end of the multi-mode fiber; and receiving the reflected portion of the light signal at the first end of the multi-mode fiber. The method also includes obtaining magnitude and frequency data related to the reflected portion of the light signal at the first end of the multi-mode fiber; and analyzing the magnitude and the frequency data to determine a bandwidth of the multi-mode optical fiber. The length of the multi-mode fiber may also increase over time during testing.

    Abstract: A control apparatus for controlling a thickness of a substrate, such as a glass ribbon. The control apparatus comprises a laser assembly and a shielding assembly. The laser assembly generates an elongated laser beam traveling in a propagation direction along an optical path. The shielding assembly comprises at least one shield selectively disposed in the optical path. The shield is configured to decrease an optical intensity of a region of the elongated laser beam. The shielding assembly is configured to change an intensity profile of the elongated laser beam from an initial intensity profile to a targeted intensity profile. A desired targeted intensity profile can be dictated by an arrangement of the shield(s) relative to the optical path, and can be selected to affect a temperature change at portions of the substrate determined to benefit from a reduction in thickness.

    Abstract: Methods of manufacturing a ribbon can comprise identifying a location of a nonuniformity in a characteristic of a molten portion of a moving ribbon. The methods can further comprise impinging a deflected pulsed laser beam on a heating zone comprising a location of a nonuniformity in the molten portion of the ribbon. In some embodiments, the heating zone can be elongated in a travel direction of a travel path of the moving ribbon. In some embodiments, the pulsed laser beam can be reflected off a reflective surface of a polygonal reflecting device rotating at a substantially constant angular velocity. In some embodiments, the methods can include impinging the deflected pulsed laser beam on a sensing device to generate a signal. The methods can further comprise calibrating a location of the deflected pulsed laser beam based on the signal from the sensing device.

    Abstract: An optical fiber for converting a Gaussian laser beam into a Bessel laser beam may include a first segment optically coupled to a second segment with a transition region, the first segment having a first outer diameter greater than a second outer diameter of the second segment. The first segment may include a first core portion with a first cladding portion extending around the first core portion. The second segment may include a second core portion with a second cladding portion extending around the second core portion. The optical fiber may have a non-axisymmetric refractive index profile or may be coupled to an end cap with a non-axisymmetric refractive index profile.
