A photon counting technique has been used to extend greatly the range of optical time domain reflectometry or ‘back-scatter’ for fault location in optical fibre systems. A range of more than 40 dB of one-way fibre loss has been achieved even when the break was index-matched to eliminate any reflection.
Healey et al. (1980) studied this question.
