Abstract

See full text

Mitigating back reflection in fiber optic cables when coupling two fiber optic cables, for example, for implementing in harsh environments including wellbores. As described below, light from a source can travel toward a target through a first fiber optic cable and a second fiber optic cable coupled to the first fiber optic cable using a coupling system. The two fiber optic cables can be coupled such that all or a portion of back reflection at the coupling part is absorbed rather than permitted to travel back toward the source through the first fiber optic cable.
