Embodiment 1

[0024] Aiming at the deficiencies of the commonly used optical fiber length measurement methods at present, the present invention overcomes the poor measurement accuracy of the backscattering method and the many interference factors of the pulse method by introducing a vector network analyzer and combining the phase zeroing technology on the basis of the traditional phase shift method. , short measurement distance and other shortcomings, which make up for the shortcomings of the traditional phase shift method, such as the low frequency measurement range of the phase meter and the poor stability of phase measurement. When the refractive index of the optical fiber group is known, the measurement accuracy is better than 0.001m when the fiber measurement length is less than 100km, and the measurement accuracy is better than 0.01m when the measurement length is greater than 100km. details as follows:

Abstract

The invention provides a new method for precisely measuring optical fiber length by adoption of a vector network analyzer. The vector network analyzer is introduced, the phase zero making technology is combined, and therefore the defects that a back scattering method is poor in measuring precision, many in interference factor of a pulse method, short in measuring distance and the like are overcome, and the shortcomings that a traditional phase shifting method is narrow in frequency measuring range of a phase meter and poor in phase measuring stability are overcome; in the long-distance transmission of optical fibers, due to widening of optical pulses caused by optical fiber dispersion, time amount of optical pulse delay is replaced with the phase variable quantity generated by measuring optical signals in transmission in the optical fibers, the accuracy value of the optical fiber length is calculated, and therefore the influence of the optical fiber dispersion on a measuring result of the optical fiber length is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of measuring the length of an optical fiber, and in particular relates to a new method for accurately measuring the length of an optical fiber by using a vector network analyzer. Background technique [0002] The commonly used optical fiber length measurement methods mainly include backscattering method, pulse method and phase shift method. The backscattering method uses the backscattered light generated by Rayleigh scattering and Fresnel reflection when light is transmitted in the optical fiber. To measure the length of optical fiber, the optical time domain reflectometer developed by using this principle has been widely used in the construction and maintenance of optical fiber communication links. There are many unavoidable factors that cause errors in this method, such as instrument resolution error, optical fiber group refractive index, and backscattering loss coefficient. Therefore, the measurement acc...
