Reference surface: In optical-fiber technology, that surface of an optical fiber that is used to contact the transverse-alignment elements of a component such as a connector or mechanical splice.

Note: For telecommunications-grade fibers, the reference surface is the outer surface of the cladding. For plastic-clad silica (PCS) fibers, which have a strippable polymer cladding (not to be confused with the polymer overcoat of an all- glass fiber), the reference surface may be the core.

Reference workA reference work is a compendium of information, usually of a specific type, compiled for ease of reference. That is, the information is intended to be quickly found when needed. The writing style used in these works is informative; the authors avoid use	Reference countingIn computer science, reference counting is a technique of storing the number of references, pointers or handles to a resource such as an object or block of memory. Use in garbage collection Reference counting is often known as a garbage collection algorit	Reference circuitIn telecommunication, a reference circuit is a hypothetical circuit of specified equivalent length and configuration, and having a defined transmission characteristic or characteristics, used primarily as a reference for measuring the performance of other
Reference clockIn telecommunication, the term reference clock has the following meanings: 1. A clock with which another clock is compared. A clock, usually of high stability and accuracy, used to govern a network of mutually synchronized clocks of lower stability. Note:	Reference noiseIn telecommunication, reference noise is the magnitude of circuit noise chosen as a reference for measurement. Note: Many different levels with a number of different weightings are in current use, and care must be taken to ensure that the proper parameter	Reference surfaceReference surface In optical-fiber technology, that surface of an optical fiber that is used to contact the transverse-alignment elements of a component such as a connector or mechanical splice.
