ABSTRACT:
An optical coherence-domain reflectometry system provides an interferometer driven by a broadband incoherent light source with the device under test connected to one arm of the interferometer and a movable scanning mirror in the other arm providing a reference signal. The mirror moves at a controlled velocity to produce a Doppler shift in the reference signal frequency. The interference signal is detected and measured by a receiver. In the case where the receiver is a polarization diversity receiver, an intensity modulator and a polarization controller are incorporated into the reflectometer for use in calibrating the receiver. Calibration is also provided for a single photodetector receiver.
