Abstract

This paper presents an application PIC microcontroller for online monitoring and fiber fault identification in optical fiber communication. For this propose the PIC microcontroller is used control any optical switch connected to it. The proposed system architecture is discussed in detail, considering both the hardware and software elements involved. Finally, the benefits and limitations of such a system are considered, using some initial results obtained in an experimental implementation. The system is developed and tested successfully.
