Fiber optic test equipment
Optoelectronic components, including fiber optics cables, connectors, transmitters, receivers, switches, routers and all other types of optical components, have become the backbone of the modern telecommunication infrastructure. As the need for components in such systems increases, the need for accurate testing of these systems also increases. Each component within an optical communication system must be tested to ensure that it meets technical standards that have been set in the industry. Additionally, the components must be tested to assess their performance in various real world conditions. The fiber optic technology allows for the transport of information at data rates currently exceeding billions of bits of information per second. Part of the technology that enables this optical communication is the ability to direct light onto an optical fiber and switch that light appropriately. Accordingly, it is necessary to occasionally test the transmission quality of optical fibers. One device which has established itself as one of the more versatile instruments for this purpose is the optical time domain reflectometer or OTDR. Optical time domain reflectometers are used in the telecommunications industry for examining fiber optic cables to locate discontinuities or breaks that affect the signal transmission quality through the cable. Bit error rate (BER) measurements are a standard tool in verifying the performance of any digital optical communication system. The BER test determines the rate of faulty bits to transmitted bits.
