Abstract
We demonstrate an optical-time-domain reflectometer operating at lambd a = 1.3 mum. It features a spatial resolution of better than 5 cm and enough sensitivity to detect the Rayleigh scattering at the same resol ution when operated with a low-power semiconductor laser. Field operat ion of the instrument is discussed.
