Sumario:We report on the WLS fibre quality control (QC) procedure developed in Pisa. We have built and put into operation a set up and an analysis procedure which allow a fast and accurate measurement of both light yield and attenuation length of 18 WLS fibres at once. We have measured the overall accuracy of our method to be 1.5% in the measurement of light yield and 3% of the attenuation length. We report also on the results obtained with this method in the QC of fibres of the first batch recently delivered by Kuraray.
