Research abstract
We investigate an approach for inserting technology for measuring the health of fiber optic networks and isolating fiber faults to 1 cm resolution. We developed a strategy that integrates fiber monitoring technology directly into the fiber optic transceivers. This strategy would create 100% fiber optic network coverage, with built-in-test functions of link-loss, link-bandwidth, transceiver health monitors (temperature, laser voltage, electrical signal integrity) and optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) with 1 cm resolution.
