An optical-time-domain reflectometer has been constructed with a 1.55-microm Er(3+):glass laser, a TeO(2) acousto-optical directional coupler, and a cooled Ge P-I-N photodiode. With it, a maximum detectable fault-location length of 130 km for single-mode optical fiber has been successfully achieved at a 1.55microm wavelength.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
