Alois P.

Abstract-A novel measurement instrument is presented for
evaluation of optical components similar to that of microwave network
analyzer. This instrument is also capable of poarization
measurements. Heterodyne mixing and small linewidth lasers with large
tunable range make it a flexible tool for optical device evaluation
and design. Experimental results are also presented.
