  • Abstract
    The letter presents a new simple method using an optical time-domain reflectometer for measuring the real splice loss of single-mode optical fibres from one end of the fibre. Importantly, the method eliminates the difference in backscattering properties of the spliced fibres by subtracting two discontinuities obtained at different wavelengths in the received backscattered power.
