Abstract
A fiber measurement device includes: a light detector adapted to detect feedback light of laser light output to a fiber; a band limiting circuit adapted to extract, from a signal depending on the feedback light, a signal having a component corresponding to a frequency of the laser light, wherein the signal extracted by the band limiting circuit is a first differentiation target signal; and a waveform equalizing circuit having a differentiating and adding circuit adapted to differentiate the first differentiation target signal to generate a first differentiation result signal and to add the first differentiation target signal and the first differentiation result signal.

- a light detector adapted to
- detect feedback light of laser light output to a fiber from the fiber, and
- convert the feedback light into an electrical signal;
- a narrowband measuring circuit;
- a wideband measuring circuit adapted to amplify the feedback light from the fiber, and measure characteristics of the fiber based on loss of the feedback light;
- and
- a switch adapted to switch between the narrowband measuring circuit and the wideband measuring circuit to input the electrical signal from the light detector, wherein
- the narrowband measuring circuit includes:
- a band limiting circuit adapted to extract, from the electrical signal from the light detector, a signal having a component corresponding to a frequency of the laser light, wherein the signal extracted by the band limiting circuit is a first differentiation target signal;
- and
