Method for detection and location of faults on an optical transmission path and optical transmission system
摘要
<p>The method involves coupling light with an input polarization state at a point in a transmission path. The light is decoupled at another point in the transmission path, where the two points are spatially displaced from each other. A temporal change of the polarization state of the decoupled light is detected, and an external influence on an optical fiber is detected in response to the temporal change of the decoupled light. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for locating external influences on a bidirectional fiber optic transmission system (2) an optical transmission system with a fiber optic transmission path.</p>
