Abstract:
The present invention relates to a measuring device (3000) for measuring reflection in an optical fiber (1400), the device comprising: emitting means (3100) connected to the optical fiber (1400) and configured to emit light into the optical fiber (1400), measuring means (3300) connected to the optical fiber (1400) and configured to receive a reflected light from the optical fiber (1400), wherein the measuring means comprises a first photon detector (3310) and a second photon detector (3311), wherein the operation of the second photon detector (3311) and/or the reflected light reaching the second photon detector (3311) is controlled based on an output of the first photon detector (3310).
