Abstract

In a method for performing OTDR measurement in an optical transmission system including a first terminal station and a second terminal station, OTDR signal light is transmitted from an OTDR provided in the first terminal station to the second terminal station, in which the OTDR signal light is Raman amplified by using main signal light of the optical transmission system as pump light.
