OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) is a measurement instrument for identifying optic fiber transmission features. AD1000 is mainly used to measure attenuation of a whole optic fiber chain and provide attenuation details relating to length, namely detect, locate and measure any event in optic fiber chain (Events refer to faults caused by splicing, connectors and bending).
AD1000 User’s Manual Information relating to distance is obtained through time information (That’s the reason why there is “Time Domain” in the name of OTDR). Fresnel reflection occurs at the boundary between two media of different IOR (For example, connections of faults, connectors, or optic fiber end).
AD1000 User’s Manual 4.3 Basic Definition and Classification of Events 4.3.1 Events Events refer to any abnormal points causing attenuation or sudden change of scattering power besides the normal scattering of optic fiber, which include all kinds of losses like bending, connections and ruptures.
OTDR sends off a light pulse into the optic fiber to be inspected, and then receive returning light signals, and starts calculating the “event” distance. The farther the distance is, the longer time need for scattered light to be received by AD1000. Event distance can be calculated according to the time of receiving events signals.
