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 microscope may receive a fiber optic connector via a connector adapter of the microscope, wherein the connector adapter includes an opening and a shaped reflective surface surrounding the opening. The microscope may align a ferrule of the fiber optic connector with the opening of the connector adapter of the microscope, wherein the ferrule includes a ferrule endface. The microscope may transmit light onto the shaped reflective surface and may receive reflected light from the ferrule endface and with a camera of the microscope.

Abstract: A microscope may receive a fiber optic connector via a connector adapter that includes an opening and may align a ferrule of the fiber optic connector with the opening of the connector adapter, where the ferrule includes a ferrule endface. The microscope may transmit light onto the ferrule endface and may receive reflected light, as an image of the ferrule endface, with a camera of the microscope. The microscope may determine intensities of brightness of the image and may create a topographical map of the intensities of the brightness of the image. The microscope may determine a radius and an apex of the ferrule endface based on the topographical map and may calculate an apex offset of the ferrule endface based on the radius and the apex of the ferrule endface. The microscope may perform one or more actions based on the apex offset of the ferrule endface.

Abstract: A test instrument tests an optical component of a fiber optic network. The test instrument determines signal parameters describing pulses to be emitted by lasers of the test instrument to test the optical component, and directly modulates the lasers to repeatedly emit the pulses at different wavelengths on a single fiber optic cable in a time division multiplexing manner. The test instrument triggers powering measurements to coincide with the emitted pulses, and determines performance parameters of the optical component based on the triggered power measurements.

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: In some implementations, a device may selectively illuminate, via a lighting module of the device, one or more fibers in a fiber optic cable using an illumination pattern. The device may detect, via a detection module of the device, illuminated fibers associated with the fiber optic cable based on the illumination pattern. The device may output, via the detection module of the device, information regarding the illuminated fibers. The device may generate, via one or more processors of the device, a report, based on the information, indicating a fiber mapping between the one or more fibers that were selectively illuminated via the lighting module and the illuminated fibers detected via the detection module.

Abstract: According to examples, a system for measuring polarization dependent loss (PDL) for a device-under-test (DUT) may include a tunable laser, a polarization element and a power meter. The tunable laser may emit an optical signal to sweep across an optical band at a constant rate. The polarization element may scramble polarizations states of the optical signal emitted from the tunable laser. The power meter may take power measurements associated with the optical signal emitted from the tunable laser, wherein the power measurements from the power meter are used to determine a maximum insertion loss (IL) and a minimum insertion loss (IL) associated with the device-under-test (DUT). An average insertion loss (IL) and a polarization dependent loss (PDL) for the device-under-test (DUT) may be calculated based on the maximum insertion loss (IL) and the minimum insertion loss (IL) associated with the device-under-test (DUT).

Abstract: An apparatus for providing multicore fiber (OCF) optical switching is disclosed. The apparatus may include an input fiber to receive an optical signal from an optical source. The apparatus may also include an output fiber to receive the optical signal from the input fiber. The apparatus may further include an optical switch element to provide optical switching between the input fiber and the output fiber. In some examples, at least one of the input fiber and the output fiber may be a multicore fiber (MCF), and the optical switching may be performed between at least one core of the input fiber and the output fiber. In some examples, the optical switch element may provide optical switching using a multicore fiber (MCF) optical switching technique, such as a lens offset technique, a rotation-based technique, a tip-tilt technique, or an orientable optical element technique.
