摘要

A measuring method of a longitudinal distribution of bending loss of an optical fiber includes calculating an arithmetical mean value I(x) from two backscattering light intensities of two backscattering light at a position x obtained by bidirectional OTDR measurement of the optical fiber; and obtaining a bending loss value at the position x from a mode field diameter 2W(x) and a relative refractive index difference &Dgr;(x) at the position x calculated from the arithmetical mean value.
