A Coherent Optical Network Analyzer

Alois P. Freundorfer

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.
