Patent number: 12007298Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an optical fiber test method, an optical fiber test apparatus, and a program, capable of detecting a boundary of an optical fiber line facility regardless of a change in a noise amount. A change amount (a differential value) of an OTDR waveform increases toward a distal end due to noise effects, making it difficult to determine a boundary of the optical fiber using the change amount. Therefore, in the present invention, a dispersion of the OTDR waveform, which increases toward a distal end due to noise effects, is also used to determine the boundary of the optical fiber. In other words, in the present invention, the noise amount is expressed by the dispersion, and the dispersion is compared with the change amount such as a differential value as a threshold, to determine the boundary of the optical fiber.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2019Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Nazuki Honda, Kazutaka Noto, Hiroyuki Oshida
