- High resolution (sub-cm range)
- Options for most types of fibres (SM, MM and POFs)
- Up to 4 wavelengths, either between 500 nm and 900 nm, or between 1300 nm and 1620 nm.
- Available either as a standalone (battery-powered option), or as a module with an external PC
Technical description
The photon-counting Optical Time Domain Reflectometer or
n-OTDR
(
n being the
standard symbol for a photon), is a high dynamic-range, short distance OTDR.
The
n-OTDR enables the analysis of rather short
optical networks (up to 40 km for single mode fibers, with measurements windows
between 200 m and 800 m), with a very high spatial resolution (in the centimetre range).
This type
of measurement is completely impossible with a standard OTDR. We offer several
types of
n-OTDRs, adapted to the fibres and wavelengths
used by our customers. These include singlemode fibers, multimode fibres and plastic optical fibres,
with standard wavelengths at 520 nm, 650 nm, 850 nm, 1310 nm, 1550 nm and 1620 nm. There can
be up to 4 wavelengths in one single instrument, either in telecom windows or at shorter wavelengths.
Since our
n-OTDR is often custom-designed, do not hesitate
