Optical vector network analyzer as a reflectometer

Abstract-An optical vector network analyzer similar to that of
the microwave network analyzer has been shown to be feasible for the
evaluation of optical components. It is shown that this instrument
can also be used as a reflectometer. Heterodyne mixing and small
linewidth lasers with a large tunable range make it a flexible tool
for optical device evaluation and design. Experimental results are
presented.
