Mandrel meaning
A round object used as an aid for shaping a material, e.g. shaping or enlarging a ring, or bending or enlarging a pipe without creasing or kinking it. | A tool or component of a tool that guides, grips or clamps something, such as a workpiece to be machined, a machining tool or a part while it is moved.

Determination of appropriate mandrel wrap conditions The mandrel diameter and number of turns are chosen to eliminate certain modes in a reproducible way.
A cylindrical rod wrap consists of a specified number turns of fiber on a mandrel of specified size, depending on the fibre characteristics and the desired modal distribution.
A draw bench or arbor press equipped with expandable lead plug is used to shape and smooth the bell and bell neck over a mandrel.
Experimentally, one plots the transmitted power from a wrapped fibre into which a uniform modal power distribution has been excited, as a function of mandrel diameter, maintaining a constant number of turns.
He hammers the blank over a bell-shaped mandrel, and butts the seam, using a notching tool.
If the launch fibre is fully filled ahead of the mandrel wrap, the higher-order modes will be stripped off, leaving only lower-order modes.
In multimode fibre, mandrel wrapping is used to eliminate the effect of "transient loss", the tendency of high order modes to experience higher loss than lower order modes.
The mandrel diameter affects how far into the mode volume the modal unbinding occurs.
Then, the cylinder would be placed on the mandrel of a duplicating pantograph that would be played with a stylus on the end of a lever, which would transfer the sound to a wax disc master, which would be electroplated and be used to stamp copies out.
The original way to make the slide tubes was to roll a flat piece of metal around a solid cylinder mandrel, and the joining edges soldered together.
The practical effect of mandrel wrapping is to attenuate optical power propagating in the highest order modes.
The shaped piece of cane is then re-soaked and tied onto a "staple" for oboe reeds and formed on a mandrel for bassoon reeds.
This reveals step-like reductions in transmitted power as the diameter decreases, where each step is the point at which the mandrel is beginning to affect the next-lower mode group.
Total mode volume in a fiber is a function of wavelength, so the mandrel diameter at which the mode group transitions occur will change with wavelength.
Ultimately, the effect of mandrel wrapping on optical measurements depends on the propagating mode power distribution.
