TRACEABILITY OF MEASUREMENTS ON OPTICAL FIBRES AND CALIBRATION OF OPTICAL REFLECTOMETERS IN TIME DOMAIN

Andrea Zanobini, Gaetano Iuculano
Abstract:
In this paper we present the procedure to calibrate the Optical Time Domain Reflectometer, one of the most used instruments in the measurement of optical fibers. At the same time, since the procedure of calibration imposes the study and the development of a sample/artefact called recirculating delay line, we have studied and described its realization and calibration.
