Abstract
In this paper, the optimization tool based on Genetic Algorithms (GAs) to improve the different parameters such as the Attenuation and backscatter coefficients of single mode optical fibre (SMF) is proposed. The method of experimental study which is based on the use of an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) to measure and locate different events that occur in an optical fibre in real time is exploited. The experimental results have been compared with theoretical results in order to validate the proposed methods of modelling.
