Mechanism for facilitating an optical instrumentation testing system employing multiple testing paths

摘要

A mechanism is described for facilitating optical testing of a device under test (DUT) using a testing mechanism having multiple testing paths according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments of the invention may include facilitating, via a loopback path, optical testing of the DUT in a loopback configuration. The loopback configuration may allow for looping between one or more transmitters and one or more receivers of the DUT. The method may further include facilitating, via a spectral path, spectral measurements relating to the DUT.

1. An apparatus comprising:
an optical testing assembly including a loopback path to facilitate optical testing of a device under test (DUT) in a loopback configuration, wherein the loopback configuration allows for looping between one or more transmitters and one or more receivers of the DUT, wherein the loopback path is further to facilitate re-performing of tasks already performed using at least one of a functional path and a spectral path, and parallel looping of the one or more transmitters and the one or more receivers to allow for simultaneous and repeated running of multiple tests without having to rely on a tester; and the spectral path to facilitate spectral measurements relating to the DUT.
