A new approach to splice-loss monitoring using long-range OTDR
Absolute splice-loss measurements on single-mode optical fibre are performed from one cable end only using specially developed long-range OTDR equipment in conjunction with a reflector at the far end of the fibre. Active splice-alignment with single-mode OTDR is also demonstrated.
