[[Optical Component]] Fiber optic network interrogation tool for combined swept-heterodyne optical spectrum analysis and optical frequency-domain reflectometry

A multi-function optical tool may be used for example for built-in fault detection and transceiver source characterization in local optical communication networks. A single device provides swept-heterodyne optical spectrum analysis (SHOSA) and optical frequency-domain reflectometry (OFDR) in an efficient, low-cost package by utilizing a common interrogation laser source, common optical components,...
