具体实施方式
为了使本发明的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合附图对本发明作进一步地详细描述，所描述的实施例不应视为对本发明的限制，本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其它实施例，都属于本发明保护的范围。
在以下的描述中，涉及到“一些实施例”，其描述了所有可能实施例的子集，但是可以理解，“一些实施例”可以是所有可能实施例的相同子集或不同子集，并且可以在不冲突的情况下相互结合。
在以下的描述中，所涉及的术语“第一\第二\第三”仅仅是是区别类似的对象，不代表针对对象的特定排序，可以理解地，“第一\第二\第三”在允许的情况下可以互换特定的顺序或先后次序，以使这里描述的本发明实施例能够以除了在这里图示或描述的以外的顺序实施。
除非另有定义，本文所使用的所有的技术和科学术语与属于本发明的技术领域的技术人员通常理解的含义相同。本文中所使用的术语只是为了描述本发明实施例的目的，不是旨在限制本发明。
由于光纤传输系统中波分复用技术的广泛使用，通道数越来越多，传输距 离也越来越长。为了适应更长的传输距离，各种光放大器被广泛应用于光纤传输系统中。光纤中的光信号的光谱分布广泛，且噪声信号的光谱分布也比较广泛。
OTDR作为光纤线路性能检测的有效手段，被广泛地应用于光纤质量检测、光纤故障点定位等场合中，OTDR在线光纤线路检测功能逐渐被集成在光纤传输系统中。由于光纤线路中传输的数据量极大，要求OTDR测试不能中断或影响业务信号传输。而OTDR的测试原理是通过输出周期光脉冲的方式，利用光纤中的光瑞利散射特性和光纤端面反射特性，接收返回信号，根据返回信号来检测光纤线路的衰减和连接情况。但返回信号非常微弱。特别是光纤远端的返回信号，其功率达到-70dBm以下。光纤传输系统中各种放大器的应用，导致光纤线路中噪声广泛存在且光谱分布很广。尤其是，当OTDR测试信号与掺饵光纤放大器(Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier，EDFA)输出信号共纤同向传输时，EDFA产生的自发辐射(Amplified Spontaneous Emission，ASE)噪声，对OTDR的测试性能产生严重干扰，使OTDR检测动态范围大大降低，OTDR的测试性能劣化量达到10dB以上。
本发明实施例提供一种OTDR，如图1所示，图1是本发明实施例提供的一种OTDR的组成结构方框示意图，所述设备包括：
输入端，用于接收输入的业务光信号；
第一滤波器，与所述输入端相连，用于过滤所述业务光信号中波长等于所述OTDR的测试波长的干扰信号；
波分复用WDM器，具有反射端、透射端及输出端，其中，所述反射端与所述第一滤波器连接，用于接收所述第一滤波器过滤后的所述业务光信号；
OTDR基本单元，与所述透射端连接，用于发射等于所述测试波长的OTDR信号，并接收所述OTDR信号的返回信号，其中，所述OTDR信号的发射参数及所述返回信号的返回参数，用于评估连接在所述WDM器连接的输出端的光纤的性能指标；
所述WDM器的输出端，用于输出从所述反射端接收的过滤后的业务光信号，并输出从所述透射端接收的所述OTDR信号，并接收从所述光纤返回的所述返回信号。
这里，业务光信号是指用于调制有业务数据的光信号。
在本发明实施例中，所述滤波器是用来进行波长选择的仪器，滤波器可以从众多的波长中挑选出所需的波长，滤除光信号中除选定波长外的其他波长的 信号。例如，根据滤波器的选频特性，可分为带通滤波器、带阻滤波器、低通滤波器、高通滤波器等。
需要说明的是，第一滤波器可由光纤光栅滤波器或镀膜滤波器实现；其中，光纤光栅滤波器是一种光无源器件，利用光纤材料的热敏性，在纤芯内产生沿纤芯轴向的折射率周期变换，从而形成的窄带滤波功能。镀膜滤波器是采用蒸发镀膜的方法，在石英玻璃基底上按设计要求镀高、低折射率交臂的介质薄膜；镀膜滤波器利用光的多光束干涉，使某一波长的光信号的透射被相干加强，该波长被滤出，其余波长的光信号由于反射被干涉加强而被反射，从而实现了滤波功能。
在实际应用中，第一滤波器可以为带阻滤波器，阻带光谱范围可根据OTDR信号的测试波长进行设置；通过第一滤波器对业务光信号中波长范围在阻带光谱范围内的光信号进行大幅度衰减，而业务光信号中波长范围在阻带光谱范围外的光信号能低损耗通过第一滤波器。
示例性地，如图2所示，图2是本发明实施例提供的OTDR内第一滤波器的衰减光谱图。其中OTDR信号的中心波长为λ 0。λ 0±Δλ可认为是测试波长。第一滤波器的阻带光谱范围为λ 0±Δλ。第一滤波器将衰减业务光信号中波长范围在λ 0±Δλ内的光信号，衰减值为V2；业务光信号中波长范围在λ 0±Δλ外的光信号低损耗的通过第一滤波器，衰减值为V1。此处的V1可远远小于V2。如此，通过对λ 0±Δλ内的光信号大损耗的处理，相当于大部分滤除了业务信号中对测试波长的OTDR信号的测试干扰信号。而V1远远小于V2，可尽可能减低对于调制的业务数据的光信号的损耗，确保调制有业务数据的光信号的传输质量。
在本发明实施例中，所述WDM器可是一种无源器件，用于完成多个不同波长的光信号的复用和解复用。例如，棱镜色散型WDM器或衍射光纤型WDM器等。
在实际应用中，WDM器包括反射端、透射端及输出端。根据业务光信号的波长和OTDR信号的波长，从WDM器的反射端接收业务光信号，从透射端接收OTDR信号，从而通过WDM器衰减业务光信号中等于测试波长的干扰信号，同时衰减OTDR信号中测试波长范围外的干扰信号。
示例性地，如图3所示，图3是本发明实施例提供的OTDR内WDM器的衰减光谱图。对于通过WDM器反射端和输出端的光信号，WDM器将衰减光信号中波长范围在λ 0±Δλ内的光信号，衰减值为V8；光信号中波长范围在 λ 0±Δλ外的光信号低损耗的通过WDM器，衰减值为V7。而对于通过WDM器透射端和输出端的光信号，WDM器将衰减光信号中波长范围在λ 0±Δλ外的光信号，衰减值为V6；光信号中波长范围在λ 0±Δλ内的光信号低损耗的通过WDM器，衰减值为V5。此处的V7可远小于V8。如此，通过对业务光信号中波长范围在λ 0±Δλ内的光信号大损耗的处理，滤除业务光信号中对OTDR信号的测试造成干扰的信号。V5远远小于V6。如此，通过对λ 0±Δλ外的光信号进行高损耗处理，滤除OTDR信号中波长范围在λ 0±Δλ外的干扰信号。而V7远小于V8，V5远远小于V6，可尽可能降低对业务光信号和OTDR信号的损耗，确保OTDR的测试不对业务光信号的正常传输造成影响；同时，保证OTDR的测试也不受到业务光信号的影响。
在本发明实施例中，第一滤波器分别与OTDR的输入端和WDM器的反射端连接；WDM器的透射端与OTDR基本单元连接，WDM器的输出端与所述OTDR的输出端连接。
所述OTDR通过输入端接收输入的业务光信号，并通过第一滤波器对业务光信号进行滤波，过滤业务光信号中波长等于所述OTDR的测试波长的干扰信号，避免业务光信号对OTDR的测试造成影响。由OTDR基本单元发射等于测试波长的OTDR信号，并通过WDM器对过滤后的业务光信号和OTDR基本单元输出的OTDR信号合波，将合波信号传送至OTDR的输出端输出。同时，WDM器接收OTDR信号的返回信号，并发送至OTDR基本单元；OTDR基本单元根据接收的返回信号的返回参数，与OTDR信号的发射参数，评估OTDR输出端连接的光纤的性能指标。
示例性地，如图2、图3所示，当OTDR的测试波长为λ 0，光谱范围为λ 0±Δλ时，经过第一滤波器过滤后的业务光信号(波长范围在λ 0±Δλ外的光信号)通过反射端输入至WDM器；经过第一滤波器和WDM器后，业务光信号中波长范围在λ 0±Δλ内的光信号，衰减值为V2+V8；业务光信号中波长范围在λ 0±Δλ外的光信号低损耗的通过第一滤波器和WDM器，衰减值为V1+V7。
如此，通过在第一滤波器对业务光信号中波长等于所述OTDR的测试波长的干扰信号进行滤除，使得OTDR在不影响业务光信号的条件下，大幅度降低业务光信号中落在OTDR的测试波长范围内的干扰信号，确保OTDR的测试性能不受光纤线路中传输的业务光信号的影响。
在一些实施例中，所述设备还包括：
第二滤波器，与所述OTDR基本单元连接，用于过滤所述返回信号中的干 扰信号；其中，所述返回信号中的干扰信号的波长不等于所述测试波长。
在实际应用中，所述第二滤波器可以为带通滤波器，通带光谱范围可根据OTDR测试信号的波长进行设置；通过第二滤波器对返回信号中波长范围在通带光谱范围外的光信号进行大幅度衰减，而返回信号中波长范围在通带光谱范围内的光信号能低损耗通过第二滤波器。
示例性地，如图4所示，图4是本发明实施例提供的OTDR内第二滤波器的衰减光谱图。其中，OTDR的测试波长的中心波长为λ 0。第二滤波器的通带光谱范围为λ 0±Δλ。第二滤波器将衰减返回信号中波长范围在λ 0±Δλ外的光信号，衰减值为V4；返回信号中波长范围在λ 0±Δλ内的光信号低损耗的通过第二滤波器，衰减值为V3。此处的V4可远远小于V3。如此，通过对λ 0±Δλ外的光信号大损耗的处理，相当于对返回信号中波长范围在λ 0±Δλ外的信号进行尽可能大的衰减。而V4远远小于V3，可尽可能降低业务光信号的反向瑞利散射信号对返回信号的干扰，确保OTDR测试性能不劣化。
在本发明实施例中，所述第二滤波器与OTDR基本单元连接，用于滤除返回信号中的干扰信号。
OTDR通过输出端接收到OTDR信号的返回信号，WDM器通过输出端接收返回信号；并由透射端将返回信号传输至第二滤波器，第二滤波器对所述返回信号滤波后，将其传输至OTDR基本单元。
示例性地，如图3、图4所示，其中，OTDR的测试波长为λ 0。经过WDM器透射端输出的返回信号，通过第二滤波器滤除返回信号中的干扰信号(波长范围在λ 0±Δλ外的光信号)。经过WDM器和第二滤波器后，返回信号中波长范围在λ 0±Δλ外的光信号，衰减值为V6+V4；返回信号中波长范围在λ 0±Δλ内的光信号低损耗的通过WDM器和第二滤波器，衰减值为V5+V3。
如此，通过第二滤波器进一步滤除OTDR的返回信号中OTDR测试波长范围外的干扰信号。
在一些实施例中，所述OTDR基本单元包括：

在本发明实施例中，光环形器是一种多端口的具有非互易特性的光器件。其至少包括三个端口，光环形器的端口间形成了一条连通的环形通道。当光信号从光环形器的任一端口输入时，都能按照端口环形通道的传输方向从下一端口以很小的损耗输出，而该端口通向其他端口的损耗都很大。该传输方向可为顺时针方向或者逆时针方向。
例如，环形器的传输方向为：从与发射模组连接的第一端口，到与WDM器连接的第二端口；再从第二端口到与接收模组连接的第三端口。
在本发明实施例中，处理器是信息处理、程序运行的执行单元，用于对接收的光信号进行处理分析，从而检测得到光纤的性能指标等参数。
在本发明实施例中，光环形器分别与发射模组、接收模组以及WDM器的透射端连接；处理器分别与发射模组、接收模组连接。
处理器驱动所述发射模组发射OTDR信号，所述OTDR信号通过光环形器传送至WDM器透射端，通过WDM器将OTDR信号和过滤后的业务光信号合波输出。WDM器将接收到的OTDR信号的返回信号通过光环形器传送至接收模组，接收模组接收到返回信号后，将返回信号的返回参数发送至处理器，以便处理器根据返回信号的返回参数和OTDR信号的发射参数，评估光纤的性能指标。
可选地，所述返回信号的返回参数包括：返回时间和返回功率；所述OTDR信号的发射参数包括：发射时间和发射功率。
在实际应用中，处理器记录所述返回信号的返回时间、返回功率，并根据所述OTDR信号的发射时间和发射功率，通过返回时间与发射时间之间的时间差，以及光在光纤中的传输速度，计算光纤的实际长度。根据返回功率和返回时间，绘制光纤的衰减分布曲线。
如此，通过OTDR基本单元发射OTDR信号，并接收OTDR信号的返回 信号，根据OTDR信号的发射参数和返回参数，评估光纤的性能指标，完成对光纤的测试。
可选地，所述光环形器包括：
第一端口、第二端口及第三端口；
所述第一端口与所述发射模组连接，所述第二端口与所述WDM器的所述透射端连接，所述第三端口与所述接收模组连接。

需要说明的是，业务光信号和OTDR信号同向传输时，业务光信号同样会在传输过程中产生瑞利散射信号，并返回传输至WDM器中。WDM器接收的返回信号中既包括OTDR信号的返回信号，也包括业务光信号的返回信号；业务光信号的返回信号会对OTDR的测试造成干扰。通过第二滤波器滤除返回信号中的业务光信号的返回信号，降低传输系统中业务光信号返回信号对OTDR信号的返回信号的干扰。
在实际实施时，光环形器将WDM器发送的返回信号传送至第二滤波器，第二滤波器滤除返回信号中的干扰信号；第二滤波器将过滤后的返回信号传送至接收模组，以根据返回信号的返回参数，评估光纤的性能指标。
如此，通过光环形器将发射模组发射的OTDR信号传输至WDM器的透射端；并将WDM器接收的OTDR信号的返回信号传输至接收模组，使得正向/反向传输的分离，实现单纤双向通信。
下面，本发明实施例提供一种基于OTDR的测试系统，如图6所示，图6是本发明实施例提供的一种基于OTDR的测试系统的结构示意图。所述系统包 括：
OTDR；
业务信号发射器，与所述OTDR的输入端连接，用于发射业务光信号；
待测光纤，与所述OTDR的输出端连接。
其中，所述OTDR为前述图1或图5中的OTDR。
在本发明实施例中，业务信号发射器与OTDR的输入端连接，OTDR的输出端与待测光纤连接。
OTDR通过输入端接收所述业务信号发射器发射的业务光信号，并通过第一滤波器对业务光信号进行滤波，滤除业务光信号中波长等于OTDR的测试波长的干扰信号。并且，OTDR的OTDR基本单元发射OTDR信号，并将其传输至WDM器；通过WDM器对过滤后的业务光信号和OTDR信号合波输出至OTDR的输出端，从而传输至与所述输出端连接的待测光纤中。通过所述输出端接收从所述待测光纤返回的OTDR信号的返回信号，并将返回信号经由WDM器传送至OTDR基本单元，从而根据所述返回信号的返回参数，评估待测光纤的性能指标。
可选地，如图7所示，图7是本发明实施例提供的一种基于OTDR的测试系统的一个可选的结构示意图。所述系统还包括：
监测设备，与所述OTDR连接，用于根据业务光信号的波长范围，确定所述OTDR的测试波长。
在本发明实施例中，监测设备与OTDR的处理器连接。通过监测设备设置OTDR的测试波长，并将测试波长信息发送给处理器，处理器驱动OTDR的发射模组发射所述测试波长对应的OTDR信号。其中，所述监控设备可根据业务光信号的波长范围，确定OTDR的测试波长。
需要说明的是，为了避免OTDR的测试对光纤传输的业务光信号的影响，应根据光纤传输的业务光信号的波长范围，确定OTDR的测试波长。例如，OTDR的测试波长应避开DWDM标准波长范围、OSC波长范围和拉曼泵浦波长范围等，这里就不具体限定了。
在实际实施时，为了达到更长的测试距离，测试波长还可以选择光纤衰减系数低的波长范围。例如，850nm、1550nm等，这里就不具体限定了。
如此，监测设备根据业务光信号波长，确定OTDR的测试波长，从而确保OTDR的测试性能不受光纤线路中传输的业务光信号的影响。
可选地，所述监测设备还用于：
接收并显示所述OTDR输出的所述待测光纤的性能指标。
在本发明实施例中，处理器接收到返回信号的返回参数后，根据返回信号的返回参数和OTDR信号的发射参数，评估待测光纤的性能指标；并将所述待测光纤的性能指标参数发送至监测设备以进行显示。
其中，所述返回信号的返回参数包括：返回时间和返回功率；所述OTDR信号的发射参数包括：发射时间和发射功率。
实际实施时，处理器通过返回时间与发射时间之间的时间差，以及光在光纤中的传输速度，计算待测光纤的实际长度。根据返回功率和返回时间，绘制光纤的衰减分布曲线。并将待测光纤的实际长度、衰减分布曲线发送至监测设备以进行显示。
如此，通过返回信号的返回参数和OTDR信号的发射参数，评估待测光纤的性能指标，并由监测设备更为直观对待测光纤的性能指标进行显示，从而便于光纤传输线路的维护。
下面，本发明实施例提供一种基于OTDR的测试方法，如图8所示，图8是本发明实施例提供的一种基于OTDR的测试方法的流程示意图。所述方法包括：
步骤801：根据业务光信号的波长，确定OTDR的测试波长；
步骤802：根据所述测试波长，向待测光纤发射OTDR信号；
步骤803：滤除所述业务光信号中等于所述测试波长的干扰信号；
步骤804：接收所述待测光纤返回的OTDR信号的返回信号；其中，所述OTDR信号的发射参数及所述返回信号的返回参数，用于评估连接在所述WDM器连接的输出端的光纤的性能指标。
在本发明实施例中，OTDR包括输入端、第一滤波器、WDM器、OTDR基本单元、输出端。其中，输入端与第一滤波器连接，第一滤波器又与WDM器的反射端连接，WDM器的透射端与OTDR基本单元连接，WDM器的输出端与OTDR的输出端连接。
在本实施例的步骤801中，根据业务光信号的波长，确定OTDR的测试波长，以确保OTDR的测试性能不受光纤线路中传输的业务光信号的影响。
在实际实施时，在确定OTDR的测试波长时，应综合考虑业务光信号的波长以及光纤衰减系数，选择光纤衰减系数低的波长，以达到更长的测试距离。例如，850nm、1550nm等，这里就不具体限定了。
需要说明的是，为了避免OTDR的测试对业务光信号的影响，在选择OTDR的测试波长时，应尽量避开与业务光信号的波长一致。例如，OTDR的测试波长应避开DWDM标准波长范围、OSC波长范围和拉曼泵浦波长范围等，这里就不具体限定了。
在本实施例的步骤802中，OTDR的处理器根据测试波长，驱动所述OTDR基本单元的发射模组发射测试波长对应的OTDR信号，OTDR信号通过光环形器传输至WDM器，并由WDM器向连接在OTDR输出端的待测光纤发送OTDR信号。
在本实施例的步骤803中，通过OTDR的输入端接收业务光信号，并通过第一滤波器滤除业务光信号中等于所述测试波长的干扰信号；将滤波后的业务光信号传输至WDM器，由WDM器向连接在OTDR输出端的待测光纤发送业务光信号。
需要说明的是，光传输系统中各种放大器的应用导致光纤线路中的噪声信号(例如ASE信号)广泛存在，并且光谱分布较广；噪声信号对OTDR的测试性能产生严重干扰。在WDM器对业务光信号和OTDR信号合波之前，通过第一滤波器对业务光信号中波长等于测试波长的噪声信号进行滤波，降低光纤线路中业务光信号对OTDR的测试影响。
如此，通过第一滤波器对业务光信号中波长等于所述OTDR的测试波长的干扰信号进行滤除，使得OTDR在不影响业务光信号的条件下，大幅度降低业务光信号中落在OTDR的测试波长范围内的干扰信号，确保OTDR的测试性能不受光纤线路中传输的业务光信号的影响。
在一些实施例中，所述步骤801可包括：当所述业务光信号为经过掺饵光纤放大器EDFA放大的光信号时，根据所述业务光信号的波长范围和EDFA的自发辐射ASE信号的光谱分布，确定OTDR的测试波长。
在本发明实施例中，EDFA包括掺饵光纤、泵浦光源、耦合器、光隔离器及光滤波器；EDFA在对业务光信号进行功率放大时，也会产生放大器ASE噪声。根据业务光信号的波长范围和EFDA的ASE信号的光谱分布，确定OTDR的测试波长。
需要说明的是，在光纤放大器中，随着激活例子从激发态返回基态并放大光信号的同时，也会产生受激粒子的随机非相干自发辐射；这种自发辐射可在任何方向，并可引起进一步受激辐射，且可被放大。因此，ASE的频带很宽，可占据整个增益带宽。
在实际实施时，根据EDFA的ASE信号的光谱分布，确定ASE信号功率较低的波长范围，以避免EDFA放大器的ASE信号对OTDR的测试的影响。
示例性地，如图9所示，图9是EDFA产生的ASE信号的光谱分布图，其中，图9中包含了四个不同增益下的ASE信号光谱分布曲线。EDFA的ASE的功率在低于1528nm波长范围和高于1563nm波长范围开始明显下降。因此，根据ASE信号的光谱分布，可在图9中ASE功率较低的波长范围中选择OTDR的测试波长。例如，测试波长为低于1520nm，或高于1600nm等。
如此，在OTDR信号和EDFA输出信号同向传输系统中，通过对EDFA产生的ASE信号中波长等于测试波长的干扰信号进行滤除，降低光纤传输线路中业务光信号对OTDR信号的影响，保证OTDR的测试性能不劣化。
在一些实施例中，步骤804包括：
接收所述OTDR信号的返回信号，记录所述返回信号的返回参数，所述返回参数包括返回时间和返回功率；
获取所述处理器预先记录的所述OTDR信号的发射参数，所述发射参数包括发射时间、发射功率；
根据所述OTDR信号的发射时间和所述返回信号的返回时间，确定所述待测光纤的长度；
根据所述OTDR信号的发射参数和所述返回信号的返回参数，确定所述待测光纤的衰减分布曲线。
在实际应用中，通过记录返回信号的返回时间和返回功率；并根据OTDR信号的发射时间和发射功率；根据返回时间与发射时间之间的时间差，以及光在光纤中的传输速度，计算待测光纤的长度；并且，根据返回功率和返回时间，绘制光纤的衰减分布曲线。
如此，通过返回信号的返回参数和OTDR信号的发射参数，评估待测光纤的性能指标，从而保证光纤传输线路的质量。
本发明实施例还提供一种计算机存储介质，所述计算机存储介质存储有计算机程序，所述计算机程序被处理器执行后，并执行前述一个或多个技术方案提供的数据传输方法，例如，可执行如图8所示的方法。
本发明实施例提供的计算机存储介质包括：移动存储设备、只读存储器(ROM，Read-Only Memory)、随机存取存储器(RAM，Random Access Memory)、磁碟或者光盘等各种可以存储程序代码的介质。可选为，所述计算机存储介质 可为非瞬间存储介质。这里的非瞬间存储介质又可以称为非易失性存储介质。
以下结合上述任意一个技术方案提供一个具体示例：
本示例提供一种基于OTDR的测试系统，所述测试系统包括：
OTDR；
待测光纤；
业务信号发射器。
其中，所述OTDR包括输入端、第一滤波器、WDM器、第二滤波器及OTDR基本单元。如图10所示，图10是本发明实施例提供的OTDR内光信号的流向示意图。通过第一滤波器对从输入端接收的业务光信号进行滤波；通过WDM器将滤波后的业务光信号与OTDR基本单元发射的OTDR信号进行合波，并输出至WDM器连接的输出端的光纤中。通过WDM器接收OTDR信号的返回信号，并通过第二滤波器滤除返回信号中的干扰信号，将过滤后的返回信号传送至OTDR基本单元，以评估所述光纤的性能指标。
在本示例中，选择1519nm作为OTDR信号的测试波长，将OTDR信号的光谱宽度设置为1519nm±1nm，OTDR的OTDR基本单元的发射模组的输出光脉冲峰值功率为17dBm，脉冲宽度为20us。EDFA增益为33dB，EDFA信号与OTDR输出信号同向传输。
假设传输光纤线路长为125km，1519nm的光纤损耗系数约为0.2dB/km；第一滤波器采用单级镀膜滤波器，第二滤波器采用双级镀膜滤波器。
根据常规滤波器及WDM器的衰减特性，假设V1＝0.8dB，V2＝35dB，V3＝1.6dB，V4＝70dB，V5＝0.8dB，V6＝35dB，V7＝0.5dB，V8＝15dB。
根据图X的EDFA产生的ASE信号的光谱分布可见，在波长为1519nm时，ASE信号的功率大约为-32.5dBm；而连续光信号在传输光纤中瑞利散射后向信号积分典型值为-32dB。因此，在波长范围为1519nm±1nm内，EDFA的ASE噪声信号经过传输光纤后，其后向积分功率在OTDR的输出端的功率为：
Pase_r＝-32.5-35-15-32＝-114.5dBm
这里，Pase_r是指在波长范围为1519nm±1nm内，OTDR输出端处的ASE信号的后向瑞利散射功率的积分值。
若从OTDR的输入端接收的业务光信号，不经过第一滤波器滤波，直接从WDM的反射端输入，然后从OTDR的输出端输出；在波长范围为1519nm±1nm内，EDFA的ASE噪声信号经过传输光纤后，其后向积分功率在OTDR的输出 端的功率为：
Pase_r＝-32.5-15-32＝-79.5dBm
脉冲信号在单模光纤中的瑞利散射系数如下：
K(Δt)＝10log 10(KΔt)
Figure PCTCN2021100624-appb-000001
其中，S是后向散射俘获因子，与光纤类型的数值孔径相关；
Figure PCTCN2021100624-appb-000002
对单模光纤，m＝4.55，NA是光纤的数字孔径，n 0是光纤的折射率；α s是光纤的散射系数；ν是光在光纤中的传播速度，
Figure PCTCN2021100624-appb-000003
C是光在真空中的传输速度，n 0是光纤的折射率；Δt是光脉冲的宽度。
在常用的单模光纤中，例如G.652D，NA＝0.14，通过计算得到：K＝10s -1，对其取对数并转换为ns，得到脉冲宽度为1ns时，后向散射系数为：
Figure PCTCN2021100624-appb-000004
这里，K ns(dB)指的是脉冲宽度为1ns的光脉冲信号，在光纤线路上每一点的后向散射系数。
当脉冲宽度为Δtns时，后向散射系数为：
K(Δt)＝10log 10(KΔt)＝K ns(dB)+10log 10(KΔt)≈-80+10log 10(KΔt)
这里，K(Δt)指的是脉冲宽度为Δtns的光脉冲信号，在光纤线路上每一点的后向散射系数。
OTDR的输出脉冲峰值功率为17dBm，脉冲宽度为20us时，计算所得后向散射系数为-37dB；脉冲宽度为1us时，计算所得后向散射系数为-50dB。
波长为1519nm的光信号在光纤中的衰减系数大约为0.2dB/km，125km出的OTDR光脉冲信号的瑞利散射光信号返回到OTDR的输出端的光功率为：
脉冲宽度为20us时：17-0.8-0.8-0.2×125×2-37＝-71.6dBm
脉冲宽度为1us时：17-0.8-0.8-0.2×125×2-50＝-84.6dBm
由此可见，若OTDR中没有第一滤波器，ASE信号后向积分功率为-79.5dBm，比125km处光纤返回的脉冲宽度为20us的OTDR信号的返回信号功率-71.6dBm仅低7.9dB，比脉冲宽度为1us的返回信号还高5.01dB。而对于包括第一滤波器的OTDR，ASE信号后向积分功率为-114.5dBm，远小于125km处光纤返回的脉冲宽度为20us的OTDR信号的返回信号功率-71.6dBm和脉冲宽 度为1us的返回信号功率-84.6dBm。
第二滤波器的作用是为了滤波返回信号中测试波长范围外的噪声信号，在同向传输系统中，广大光谱范围内的业务光信号与OTDR的OTDR信号同向传输，业务光信号同样在传输过程中产生瑞利散射。
假设同向传输的业务光信号的总功率为24dBm，根据连续光信号在传输光纤中瑞利散射后向信号积分典型值为-32dB，在OTDR的输出端，业务光信号的反向瑞利散射的功率值为：
24-0.8-9.8-32＝-9.6dBm
瑞利散射返回的业务光信号，经过WDM器和第二滤波器后，传输至OTDR基本单元的接收模组处，波长范围为1519nm±1nm的业务光信号的光功率为：
-9.6-35-70＝-114.6dBm
若OTDR中没有第二滤波器，返回信号传输至OTDR基本单元的接收模组处，波长范围为1519nm±1nm的业务光信号的光功率为：
-9.6-35＝-44.6dBm
由此可知，在OTDR基本单元的接收模组处OTDR信号的返回的瑞利散射信号为：
脉冲宽度为20us时：-71.6-0.8-1.6＝-74dBm
脉冲宽度为1us时：-84.6-0.8-1.6＝-87dBm
由此可知，第二滤波器对业务光信号的反向瑞利光信号起到关键滤波作用。若OTDR中没有第二滤波器，业务光信号的反向瑞利散射信号功率达到-44.6dBm，远大于OTDR信号的返回信号功率-74dBm。而对于包括第二滤波器的OTDR，业务光信号的反向瑞利散射信号功率为-114.6dBm，远小于OTDR信号的返回信号功率。
本实施例中，OTDR中第一滤波器滤除同向传输信号中波长等于测试波长的干扰信号，第二滤波器滤除同向传输信号的反向瑞利散射信号，大幅度降低传输系统中业务光信号对OTDR的OTDR信号的干扰，极大限度地降低了在线OTDR测试系统的性能劣化。
