Optical frequency-domain reflectometry in single-mode fibers

Abstract

The spatial distribution of attenuation and birefringence along a single-mode fiber can be determined by measuring from one fiber end the dependence of the Rayleigh backscatter amplitude on optical (spatial) frequency. A Fourier transform is necessary for conversion to the space domain. This is the principle of optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR).
