  • Apparatus and method to detect and correct for mode hop wavelength error in optical component measurement systems
    Patent number: 7835009
    Abstract: A method of and system for correcting mode hop wavelength error in data obtained measuring optical characteristics over a number of wavelengths, includes at a location where mode hop wavelength error occurs in an assemblage of data, representing optical characteristics with respect to wavelength of incident electromagnetic energy of a device under test, compensating or correcting the data to overcome errors due to mode hop occurring in the measurement process.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 10, 2007
    Date of Patent: November 16, 2010
    Assignee: DBM Optics, Inc.
    Inventors: Michael Minneman, Greg Kern, Michael Crawford
