Original Abstract Submitted
A backscattered light intensity measurement unit is presented that acquires a combination of backscattered light intensities of individual transmittable spatial channels of an optical fiber obtained when test light, for the respective transmittable spatial channels of the optical fiber, is incident on the optical fiber, and a transfer matrix calculation unit that calculates a transfer matrix for each section of the optical fiber in order from a side closer to an incident end of the test light, in which characteristics in a section of the optical fiber are evaluated by using the transfer matrix.
