Abstract: Methods and systems for analyzing optical parameters of a selected optical fiber member are disclosed. A signal input from an optical fiber member may be selected by instructing a corresponding optical separation device. The output from the corresponding optical separation device may be combined with the outputs of other optical separation devices using an optical coupler. A measurement circuit may measure the optical parameter from the output. Proper operation of an optical separation device may be validated by a monitoring circuit. The monitoring circuit may provide an indication to a user or may be processed by a diagnostic processor. A processing circuit may select one of the optical separation devices in order to measure the optical parameter for a corresponding optical fiber member and consequently may instruct an adjustment circuit to cause the selected optical fiber member to conform to a desired value of the optical parameter.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for analyzing optical parameters of a selected optical fiber member. A signal input from an optical fiber member is selected by instructing a corresponding optical separation device. The output from the corresponding optical separation device is combined with the outputs of other optical separation devices using an optical coupler. A common measurement circuit measures the optical parameter from the output. Proper operation of an optical separation device is validated by a monitoring circuit. The monitoring circuit may provide an indication to a user or may be processed by a diagnostic processor. A processing circuit selects one of the optical separation devices in order to measure the optical parameter for a corresponding optical fiber member and consequently instructs an adjustment circuit to cause the selected optical fiber member to conform to a desired value of the optical parameter.
