Abstract

See full text

A method of calculating optical return loss (ORL) in a fiber network includes injecting a plurality of pulses of light at a known first power level into the fiber network, determining a location at which end reflection is detected, measuring a second power level of each of a plurality of returned pulses of light, measuring a third power level of a pulse of light returned from the determined location, and calculating ORL based on the first power level, the second power level and the third power level.
