An improvement of the fiber-optic transceiver having both transmitter and receiver functions of optical time-domain reflectometers is examined. The improvement is achieved by introducing an external optical amplifier without changing the previously reported configuration. The characteristics of the transmitted Q-switched pulse and the receiver gain is studied theoretically and experimentally to estimate the performance improvement.
