Ovality

In telecommunications and fiber optics, ovality or noncircularity is an attribute of an optical fiber. In particular, it is the degree of deviation from perfect circularity of the cross section of the core or cladding. The cross sections of the core and cladding are assumed to first approximation to be elliptical. Quantitatively, the ovality of either the core or cladding is expressed as 2(a-b)/(a+b), where a is the length of the major axis and b is the length of the minor axis. The dimensionless quantity so obtained may be multiplied by 100 to express ovality as a percentage. Alternatively, ovality of the core or cladding may be specified by a tolerance field consisting of two concentric circles, within which the cross section boundaries must lie.
