ABSTRACT:
A system for determining response characteristics, insertion loss and group delay, of an optical component by applying a sweeping wavelength optical signal that is modulated with an RF signal, measuring the insertion loss and group delay at a series of wavelengths and correlating the measurements to wavelengths. A method for synthesis of an effective modulation frequency in determining the group delay response characteristics of an optical component by obtaining a series of measurements over a sample optical spectrum using a given modulation frequency and calculating a weighted average of the group delays in the series of measurements giving a result substantially equivalent to a measurement taken using a modulation frequency equal to the effective modulation frequency.
