OPTICAL TIME DOMAIN REFLECTOMETER, TEST METHOD OF OPTICAL TRANSMISSION LINE, AND TEST SYSTEM OF OPTICAL TRANSMISSION LINE

摘要

An optical detection unit detects a return light and outputs a detection signal. An optical multiplexer/demultiplexer outputs the monitoring light to the optical transmission line, and outputs the return light to the optical detection unit. A processing unit detects a first timing at which the detection signal becomes less than a first threshold value, detects a second timing at which the detection signal becomes less than a second threshold value, and calculates a first change rate of the detection signal in a period between the first and second timings. The processing unit changes the first and second threshold values to calculate the first change rate for a plurality of periods, and, when a second change rate between the first change rates in two adjacent periods is greater than a threshold value, either of the first and second timings in one period is detected as the breakage position.
