Abstract

In this paper we study a multi-function and high precision submarine optical fiber monitorsystem. This design is based on the core technology of coherent optical time-domain reflectometry (COTDR) which is used for submarine optical fiber monitor. The design provides multi-functionwhich including: undersea amplifier gain monitor, output power monitor; undersea fiber events monitor (such as fiber cut, attenuation as well as reflection) and also the fiber fault location which may identify the accurate location of the failurepoint (distance from failure point to its upstream amplifier). With these functions, the designcan facilitate the staff to inquiry and debug, and it also improves the maintainability and operability of the undersea equipment.
