OPTICAL REFRACTOMETRY MEASURING METHOD AND DEVICE

摘要

An object of the invention is to provide an optical reflectometry and an optical reflectometer, in which accurate measurement can be performed irrespective of a measurement distance. In the optical reflectometry and optical reflectometer according to the invention, in which a distribution of backscattered light intensity from a measurement target in an optical propagation direction is measured using Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR), a coherence monitor unit 12 that monitors a coherence property of a frequency sweep light source 1 is provided, and measurement result of a measuring unit 11 is corrected based on the monitor result of the coherence monitor unit 12.
