The present invention provides a
noise-suppressed, loop-reference-structure frequency-division-multiplexed optical
frequency domain reflectometer, belonging to the field of
optical fiber testing. The device comprises a
tunable laser source module, a main interferometer test module, an auxiliary interferometer module, a
signal acquisition and analysis module, and a ring cavity frequency-division-
multiplexing module. The device is characterized in that the ring cavity frequency-division-
multiplexing module employs a ring cavity structure. After light is input into the ring cavity, a portion of the light is directly output, while the other portion circulates in the ring cavity before being output. Multiple cycles generate reference light with different
time delays, which interfere with the
test light. In a single
laser scan, multiple groups of beat frequency signals are collected. After frequency sweep nonlinearity correction and
frequency domain conversion,
signal intensity correction and segmented interception are performed to achieve
frequency division multiplexing of the optical
signal in a
single scan. After averaging
processing, the signals are integrated into a group, effectively improving the sensitivity of optical
frequency domain reflectometry measurements of short-distance
optical fiber devices, suppressing
noise influences, and maintaining a compact structure.
