INSTRUMENTS REQUIRED
Calibrated Light Source. Optical Power Meter. Optical Attenuator. Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR).
OPTICAL ATTENUATORS
TYPES: Fixed Attenuators. Variable Attenuators.
APPLICATIONS: To Simulate the Regenerator Hop Loss at the FDF. To Provide Local Loop Back for Testing. To measure the Bit Error Rate by varying the Optical Signal at the Receiver Input. (RECEIVER SENSITIVITY)
REQUIREMENTS OF ATTENUATORS
Attenuation Range. Lowest Insertion Loss.
Independent of Wavelength.
Type of Connectors at the Input and Output.
0% Dark Motion
Light Receiver
Fiber
(VARIABLE ATTENUATOR)
OPERAING PRINCIPLES
One Port Operation. Works on the Principle of Back Scattering (Raleigh Scattering, see Figure ). Scattering is the main cause of Fiber Loss Scattering Coefficient=1/4 An Optical Pulse is launched into one End of Fiber and Back Scattered Signals are detected. These Signals are approximately 50 dB below the Transmitted level. Measuring conditions and Results are displayed.
Light is scattered in all directions including back towards the Source in the Fiber.
FRESNEL REFLECTION
It happens when there is a great change of Refractive Index: Break Fault. Connecter Loss. Free Fiber-End. Received reflected signal depends on surface conditions. It is normally 14 db below Transmitted signals.

The amount of light scattered back to the OTDR is proportional to the backscatter of the fiber, peak power of the OTDR test pulse and the length of the pulse sent out.
OTDR pulse Increasing the pulse width increases the backscatter level.

Splice Point
Therefore, the Splice Loss can not be measured correctly in the Loss Mode.
In the Splice Loss mode, two markers are set on each side of the Splice Point and the lines L1 and L2 are drawn as shown below. The part of the straight line immediately after the splice point is the forward projection of the straight line, L2
The Splice Loss is found by dropping a vertical line from the Splice Point to this projection of L2, and measuring the level difference between the Splice Point and the intersection.

Approximation Methods
At Loss Measurement and Splice Loss Measurement, the loss is found by drawing an imaginary line between two set markers. There are two methods for drawing the line.
Least Square Approximation Method (LSA). Two Point Approximation Method (2PA).
LEAST SQUARE APPROXINATION METHOD (LSA) In this method, the line is drawn by computing the least square of the distance from all the measured data between the two markers.
