<p>Systems and methods for testing an optical fiber involving: a laser in optical communication with an end of the fiber, the laser configured to direct a test beam of radiation into an end of the fiber; a detector in optical communication with the end of the fiber, the detector configured to detect a reflection of the test beam by a defect within the fiber; and a timer connected to the laser and to the detector, wherein the timer is capable of measuring a delay between an emission of the test beam of radiation by the laser and a detection of the emitted test beam by the detector, the delay being indicative of the position of the defect within the fiber.</p> |
