Özet
Distributed optical fiber sensors have become attractive and sought after in various applications owing
to their low costs, longer durability, easier maintenance and simpler detection means compared to their
classical counterparts. Among these sensors, the optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) has been
one of the most utilized especially in monitoring fiber network’s structural integrity, namely, fault
detection, attenuation detection, bending detection and break detection. In this work, a classical OTDR
system based on Rayleigh backscattering is setup and simulated in Optisystem 16. In this design the
fiber under test (FUT) is split into 10 equal length segments with only one connector attached in
between. Then, using time domain analysis methods, the location of the connector is detected
successfully.
