Abstract :
The optical fiber cable measurement instruments developed by NTF for field use in the 1.3 μm wavelength are discussed. The properties of a stabilized optical light source for single-mode fiber attenuation measurement, optical time-domain reflectometer using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser as a light source, and chromatic dispersion measurement instrument are described. From the measurement results, these instruments are revealed to be suitable in constructing and maintaining singlemode fiber optical transmission lines.
