OTDR device based on physical random code correlation detection and a measurement method

Abstract

The invention relates to a distributed optical fiber positioning system, in particular to an OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) device and a measurement method based on physical random code correlation detection, and solves the contradiction that the dynamic range and the spatial resolution of a traditional OTDR system cannot be improved at the same time. The device comprises a physical random code generator, a microwave amplifier, a DFB laser, an electro-optical phase modulator, an optical isolator, a first optical amplifier, a 1 * 2 optical fiber coupler, a variable optical delay line,a first photoelectric detector, an oscilloscope, a to-be-detected optical fiber, an optical circulator, a second optical amplifier, a second photoelectric detector and a computer. The system is simple in structure, convenient to operate and low in cost, the spatial resolution is determined by the code width of the physical random code, the problem that the spatial resolution is deteriorated due to the weak period of a chaotic laser signal is avoided, and adjustment of high spatial resolution acquisition is also very convenient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention is applied to the field of optical fiber detection, relates to a distributed optical fiber positioning system, and is specifically an OTDR device and measurement method based on physical random code correlation detection, which can realize long-distance, high spatial resolution breakpoint or loss measurement. Background technique [0002] At present, optical fiber is mainly used in the field of communication, and as a physical layer transmission medium, the transmission characteristics of optical fiber play a decisive role in communication distance, information capacity and transmission speed. As modern society relies more and more on optical fiber communication technology, incidents of massive losses due to fiber optic cable failures also occur frequently. Therefore, how to quickly and accurately find the specific location and attenuation information of the fault in the optical fiber cable is of great significance in the process of produ...
