  • Patent number: 8731341
    Abstract: Provided is a signal identifying apparatus for an optical fiber that includes a detecting portion capable of detecting a signal originating from a first end of the optical fiber and a signal originating from a second end of the optical fiber. Additionally, the signal identifying apparatus includes an identifying portion that identifies a desired signal by separating the signal originating from the first end of the optical fiber from the signal originating from the second end of the optical fiber.

  • Patent number: 8160444
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for separating a selected optical signal wavelength component from a plurality of optical signal wavelength components of an aggregate optical signal, and for passing the selected optical signal wavelength component while suppressing the remaining wavelength components are provided. Generally, the apparatus provides an optical signal wavelength selective element enabling output of a selectable optical signal wavelength component. The system contains a fiber optic cable carrying an optical signal, an optical signal measurement apparatus to measure optical signal characteristics, and an optical wavelength selector to pass the selected optical signal wavelength component to the optical signal measurement apparatus.
