We demonstrate that the correlation-based optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) can be used for the in-service monitoring of the 64-split time-division-multiplexed passive optical network (TDM PON). To achieve this objective, we superimpose a pseudo noise (PN) sequence having a modulation depth of ~40% to the downstream signal and utilize it for the correlation detection. However, the use of such a large PN sequence can seriously deteriorate the performance of the downstream receiver. Thus, we apply 8B/10B encoding to the downstream signal, and then filter out the PN sequence at the downstream receiver by using a high-pass filter. As a result, the power penalty caused by the use of a large PN sequence is reduced to an acceptable level (&lt;3 dB), while the dynamic range of this correlation-based OTDR is increased to ~30 dB. We then evaluate the performance of the proposed OTDR in the fiber link similar to the optical distribution network of the 64-split TDM PON. The results show that this OTDR can detect both the reflective and non-reflective events occurred in the feeder fiber as well as the reflective events in the drop fibers even in the 64-split TDM PON.
