Abstract(in English) The measurement of refractive index profile in optical fiber preforms is important in fiber industry to evaluate characteristics of optical fibers. This report presents a new method uses image distortion analysis for determining the ray deflection, which the index profiles can be numerically converted from. A reference pattern is located behind of the sample preform and distortion in its image taken through the preform may be observed if a distribution of refractive index exists in it. In previous report, a static angled knife-edge as reference pattern was used and then sample is restricted within axial-dependence free profiles. For applying the technique to wide range of types of preform, we introduce straight, scanning knife-edge. In order to confirm the method, we construct a test system and perform trial measurements using a tip taken near the end of the preform. The results show a good agreement to result obtained from strait part of the same preform without effect of the axially depending structure.
