    摘要: For measuring a polarization dependent parameter of an optical device under test nullDUTnull(30), an optical source (10) provides an optical stimulus signal at variable wavelengths, and a polarization translator (20) translates the polarization state of the optical stimulus signal applied from the optical source (10) at its input to its output in a deterministic way dependent on the wavelength of the optical stimulus signal. A receiving unit (40) receives an optical response signal from the DUT (30) to the applied optical stimulus signal, and an analyzing unit (60) analyzes received optical response signals for different wavelengths for determining values of the polarization dependent parameter of the DUT (30).

    摘要: An apparatus for measuring polarization dependent loss is disclosed featuring several fiber optic couplers combined in tandem and oriented such that the PDL noise of the measurement system is reduced to a negligible level. By matching the PDLs of the couplers and vectorally subtracting opposite phases of polarization, the PDL of the measurement system is virtually eliminated. Thus, the PDL noise floor is lowered to near zero and the PDL of the optical device-under-test (DUT) can be accurately measured. The system is relatively inexpensive to implement and offers needed versatility because it measures the PDL of optical devices that operate in a reflection mode or in a forward transmission mode. Thus, it provides one PDL measurement solution for both types of devices.

    摘要: A processing unit reads out, from a memory, wavelength setting data corresponding to wavelength information from a key input section, and outputs a wavelength setting command corresponding to the wavelength setting data to a tunable-wavelength control section and a spectral wavelength control section. The tunable-wavelength control section controls a tunable-wavelength light source section to output a laser beam having a wavelength corresponding to the wavelength setting data. The spectral wavelength control section controls a spectroscope section to perform spectroscopy of the light having the wavelength corresponding to the wavelength setting data and output the resultant light. Output light from the tunable-wavelength light source section whose wavelength has been set is input to an object to be measured. Light passing through the object is input to the spectroscope section. The spectroscope section performs spectroscopy of only the light having the wavelength corresponding to the wavelength setting data. A light-receiving section receives the spectral light and photoelectrically converts it. The resultant light is converted into digital data by an A/D conversion section to be input as level data to a processing unit. The processing unit obtains a light-reception level on the basis of the digital level data.
