    Abstract: An optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR), where a laser emitting apparatus of the OTDR outputs a first optical signal in a first time period. A signal modulation apparatus of the OTDR generates a pulse signal based on the first optical signal, and outputs the pulse signal to an optical fiber in a second time period, where the first time period includes the second time period. A receiver of the OTDR receives a scattered signal from the optical fiber, where a frequency of the scattered signal is the same as a frequency of the first optical signal. Then, the laser emitting apparatus outputs a second optical signal in a third time period, where a frequency of the second optical signal is different from the frequency of the first optical signal. The second optical signal is used as a local oscillator signal to implement coherent detection in the receiver.
