Abstract
This paper describes an optical time-domain reflectometer that incorporates a gated photomultiplier receiver. The instrument can detect extremely weak reflections from fiber breaks (more than 65 dB below the 4-percent reflection of a perfect break) w...This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
