    摘要: A polarization scan module is presented. The polarization scan module according to some embodiments of the present invention includes a swept-wavelength optical source providing a light signal that sweeps over a range of optical wavelengths, the light signal having a state of polarization; and a polarization rotator that rotates the state of polarization over a Poincare sphere as the light signal wavelength is swept within the range to produce a test optical signal. A single sweep polarization dependent loss measurement can be achieved with some embodiments of the present invention. In some embodiments, measurements of the state of polarization and optical power at the input and output of an optical component being tested together with the known optical wavelength for the state of polarization, taken at four different polarizations, can provide a set of measurement data that can be used to compute the polarization dependent loss.

    摘要: An optical system having a first order spectral range that is usable in an optical spectrum analyzer receives an broadband optical test signal and a optical calibration signal and couples the optical signals via two optically isolated paths to separate optical detectors. First and second pairs of optical fibers, with each pair having an input fiber and an output fiber, are positioned in a focal plane of a collimating optic that has an optical axis. The fiber pairs are symmetrically positioned on either side of the optical axis with the input fibers positioned on one side of the optical axis and the output fibers positioned on the opposite side of the optical axis. The input fibers receive the optical test signal and the optical calibration signal. The output optical fibers are coupled to first and second optical detectors. An optical calibration source generates second order or greater spectral lines that fall within the first order spectral range of the optical system. A diffraction grating receives the optical test signal and the optical calibration signal from the collimating optic and separates the first order spectral components of the broadband optical test signal and passes the second order or greater spectral lines of the optical calibration signal. The first optical detector that is responsive to the first order spectral components of the optical test signal receives the optical test signal from the collimating optic and converts the optical test signal to an electrical signal. A second optical detector that is responsive to the second order or greater spectral lines of the optical calibration signal concurrently receives the optical calibration signal from the collimating optic and converts the calibrations signal to an electrical signal.

    摘要: A twisting fiber depolarizer has sections of a birefringent (HiBi) fiber spliced to opposing ends of a nominally non-birefringent fiber, such as a single mode fiber, between a pair of hold points to produce a fiber assembly. Means is applied to the free portion of the fiber assembly between the hold points for twisting the free portion of the fiber assembly with a back and forth motion to depolarize an optical signal input to one end of the fiber assembly.

    摘要: A method for characterizing an event in acquired digital data is described where the event has a known shape and a pattern having amplitude and location coefficients is applied to the data for determining a best fit between the data and the pattern as a function of a peak RMS value. The derived RMS value is compared to a threshold value for verifying the existence of the event. The event is characterized as to amplitude and location using the amplitude and location coefficients of the pattern. Such a method is useful in characterizing non-reflective events in acquired optical time domain reflectometry data.
