Optical time domain reflectometer test method and optical time domain reflectometer

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides an optical time domain reflectometer test method and an optical time domain reflectometer. The method comprises the steps of triggering an optical time domainreflectometer OTDR to generate an initial optical signal according to an initial test parameter, and enabling the initial optical signal to be transmitted into an optical fiber for testing; obtainingthe current test distance of the initial optical signal through detection in the testing process, if it is judged that the current test distance is not less than a critical test distance, triggering the OTDR to generate a modulated optical signal, and jointly emitting the modulated optical signal and the initial optical signal into the optical fiber for testing. According to the embodiment of theinvention, the optical power of the test input end is improved by triggering the OTDR to generate the modulated optical signal when the current test distance is not less than the critical test distance, so that the measurement range of the OTDR can be expanded, and the problems that the measurement range of the OTDR is fixed and the measurement track is submerged by noise are solved.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of communications, and more specifically, to an optical time domain reflectometer test method and an optical time domain reflectometer. Background technique [0002] OTDR is an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OpticaL Time Domain RefLectometer), which is mainly used in the field of optical fiber communication and has a high frequency of use. In practical application, OTDR is mainly used to test the optical fiber, and according to the different waveforms displayed on the graphical interface, the faults in the optical path can be quickly and accurately judged and located. The principle is that under the control of the precise clock circuit, the maintainer sets the parameters according to the actual test scene, and sends an optical pulse signal to the optical port, and then the OTDR continuously receives the optical signal reflected from the optical fiber from the optical port at a certa...

Problems solved by technology

However, since the measurement range of the OTDR equipment in the prior art has been fixed after leaving the factory, the measurement range cannot be adjusted according to the on-site conditions, and if the measurement range is exceeded, the OTDR equipment with other measurement ranges can only be replaced.
