AUTOMATED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE SENSITIVITY OF OPTICAL COMPONENTS

摘要

A system and method for testing the sensitivity of optical components comprises an optical testing unit including an optical transmitter (150), optical attenuator (152), optical power meter (154) and optical receiver (156) which are commonly controlled by a single control unit (158). The sensitivity testing is automated by the control unit (158). A common user interface permits user friendly control of the system and provide clear system readout.
