Abstract
An optical time domain reflectometry system is described which provides low-power, low weight, optical fiber system integrity measurements in an in-situ optical fiber system. The system can be integrated within the transmitter component to allow both data transmission and OTDR measurement functions. A method of providing several different modes of OTDR measurement through external control is also disclosed.
