Abstract

A method for testing an optical fiber includes: receiving a test optical signal from an optical fiber network, and converting the test optical signal into a test current signal; receiving, by a transimpedance amplifier, the test current signal by using a first working mode and outputting a first test voltage signal; acquiring a swing of the first test voltage signal, and determining whether the swing of the first test voltage signal meets a preset condition; and receiving, by the transimpedance amplifier, the test current signal by using a second working mode and outputting a second test voltage signal when the swing of the first test voltage signal meets the preset condition, where an upper limit and a lower limit of a receiver dynamic range when the transimpedance amplifier works in the first working mode are different from those when the transimpedance amplifier works in the second working mode.
