| Abstract: | The improved performance of an optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) through the application of a correlation technique using codes with complementary autocorrelation properties is discussed. The theoretical foundations of the method are presented along with experimental results exhibiting the best one-way range reported to date for a practical long-haul, long-wavelength OTDR system |
