The invention discloses an
optical time domain reflectometer special for a hollow-core optical cable, relates to the technical field of
optical communication detection, and aims to solve the problems that an existing
optical time domain reflectometer cannot adapt to detection of the hollow-core optical cable, is weak in low backscattering
signal capturing capability, poor in operation and maintenance adaptability and the like. The reflectometer comprises a detection module, a light path module, a
signal processing module, a fault identification and positioning module, a data interaction module and a power supply module. The detection module is optimally designed based on a
photon counting detection principle, the
optical path module realizes S + C + L ultra-
wideband full coverage and adapts to common wavebands of the air-core optical cable, the
signal processing module is internally provided with a special
algorithm to improve the
detection performance, equipment is convenient to receive after the modules are integrated and optimized, and accurate identification and positioning of various faults of the air-core optical cable can be realized. And data storage, export and remote transmission are supported. According to the invention, on-site mobile operation and maintenance requirements of the hollow-core optical cable are met, the detection efficiency and precision are improved, the industrial operation and maintenance cost is reduced, and
technical support is provided for large-scale application of the hollow-core optical cable.
