Engineering:Concentricity error

Short description: Fiber optics distance between four concentric circles, two cladding diameter, and two core diameter

The concentricity error of an optical fiber is the distance between the center of the two concentric circles that specify the cladding diameter and the center of the two concentric circles that specify the core diameter.

The concentricity error is used in conjunction with tolerance fields to specify or characterize optical fiber core and cladding geometry.
