Optical Fiber Fault Detection and Localization in a Noisy OTDR Trace Based on Denoising Convolutional Autoencoder and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory

Optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR) has been widely used for characterizing fiber optical links and for detecting and locating fiber faults. OTDR traces are prone to be distorted by different kinds of noise, causing blurring of the backscattered signals, and thereby leading to a misleading inte...
