ABSTRACT:
An error analysis tester for an optical component includes an optical transmitter, an optical attenuator, a port, a receiver, a processor and a graphical display. The optical transmitter and optical attenuator produce a test signal at a plurality of selected optical power levels. The port is configured to output the test signal to the optical component and to receive a version of the test signal from the optical component. The receiver determines errors in the received version of the test signal. The processor determines data points of a function associated with an error rate at each of the selected power levels and a line corresponding to the data points. The graphical display produces a visual plot of the data points and the corresponding line.
