3.2.2.1.3 Time-of-Flight Measurement Error Sources

With the optical ToF measurements made in this design, consider the other potential error sources that can be present in the optical connections, cables, and attenuators. The connections made between fiber-optic cables are sensitive and can introduce errors from misalignment, dust, or any other material that can obscure the connection interface. Additionally, bends or twists in the fiber cables can potentially alter the propagation of light if they are too severe. For the measurements in this design, the fiber connections were kept as clean and accurate as possible, but potential errors can also result from the optical cables and not just the measurement.
