  • Patent number: 11860058
    Abstract: According to examples, a fiber-optic testing source for testing a multi-fiber cable may include a laser source communicatively coupled to a plurality of optical fibers connected to a connector. The fiber-optic testing source may include at least one photodiode communicatively coupled to at least one of the plurality of optical fibers by at least one corresponding splitter to implement a communication channel between the fiber-optic testing source and a fiber-optic testing receiver. The communication channel may be operable independently from a polarity associated with the multi-fiber cable. The fiber-optic testing receiver may include a plurality of photodiodes communicatively coupled to a plurality of optical fibers.

  • Patent number: 11424825
    Abstract: In some examples, a multi-wavelength power meter may include a first coupler to separate optical signals from an optical line terminal and an optical network terminal to ascertain a reduced percentage of total power related to the optical signals. A second coupler may receive the separated optical signals, combine the separated optical signals, and output the combined optical signals to an optical fiber. A filter may be communicatively connected to the optical fiber to isolate at least one specified wavelength or wavelength range of the combined optical signals. A photodiode may be communicatively connected to the filter for power measurement of the at least one specified wavelength or wavelength range.
