Abstract:
1. A method for characterization of optical components through characterized decomposition of an optical device, the method comprising: directing incident light over a range of wavelengths to a device under test, wherein the incident light includes a primary signal and at least one sideband signal, the distance between the primary signal and any one of the sideband signals is substantially larger than the width of the band pass area of the device under test; detecting output light from the device under test to obtain a detected signal; correcting the detected signal to account for errors associated with the sideband signal, wherein the correcting includes isolating a fourth sub-signal from the detected signal in order to get a corrected signal and the fourth sub-signal is the resulting signal of a first sideband signal of the at least one sideband signal passing through the band pass area of the device under test.
