  • Abstract
    An optical time domain reflectometer was newly constructed by using a high power Nd:YAG laser operating at a wavelength of 1.32 ¿m and a TeO2 acousto-optical light deflector. As a result, the maximum detectable fault location length of 34 km for single-mode fibre and that of 60 km for multimode graded-index fibre were successfully attained.
