Abstract: A test instrument is operable to test optical components of a fiber optic network. The test instrument includes a laser having a back-facet monitor. The test instrument measures a performance parameter of an optical component being tested based on optical power of the laser measured by the back-facet monitor. The performance parameter is determined based on optical power measurements that account for drift of the laser.

Abstract: A polarization scrambler using a retardance element (RE) is disclosed. The polarization scrambler may include an optical fiber input to transmit an optical signal, and a beam expander to receive and expand the optical signal to create an expanded optical signal. The polarization scrambler may include a retardance element (RE) to cause a polarization scrambling effect on the expanded optical signal and to create a scrambled expanded optical signal. The polarization scrambler may include a beam reducer to receive and reduce the scrambled expanded optical signal to create a scrambled optical signal. The polarization scrambler may include an optical fiber output to receive scrambled optical signal. The optical fiber output may transmit the scrambled optical signal to one or more downstream optical components.

Abstract: According to an example, a polarization control system is to manipulate polarization manipulators to output light that achieves a trajectory on a Poincaré sphere that tracks a known trajectory of a polarizer on the Poincaré sphere, in which the trajectory of the output light enables definition of a reference polarization state of the output light. The polarization control system may also manipulate an output polarization manipulator to set the output light to a predefined polarization state based upon the reference polarization state.

Abstract: A fiber-optic interconnection stabilization apparatus for a measurement system is provided. The apparatus may comprise a main body comprising an enclosure and two openings. The enclosure may encase a fiber-optic cable within the main body in an organized manner. The two openings may fit connecting ends of the fiber-optic cable such that the connecting ends of may be exposed in order to connect two modular components of a measurement system and form a closed measurement loop. The main body, when in a closed configuration, may stabilizes the fiber-optic cable encased within from external conditions, such as mechanical, thermal, or other environmental conditions that may affect measurements.

Abstract: A Faraday-based polarization scrambler is disclosed. The Faraday-based polarization scrambler may comprise a first toroidal assembly. The first toroidal assembly may include an optical fiber that is looped to form a first looped portion, and a first electrical wire that coils around the first looped portion to form a first toroidal configuration. In some examples, the first electrical wire may be connected to a voltage source and carries a current to form a magnetic field within the first toroidal configuration. In some examples, there may be additional toroidal assemblies provided to the Faraday-based polarization scrambler. One or more of these toroidal assemblies may create an actuation field to effect modulation for polarization scrambling and emulation that mitigates polarization-dependent effects.
