Abstract:
An integrating sphere-equipped optical measurement device and optical connector polarity and type identification and loss measurement are provided. The optical measurement device includes at least two photodetectors that are optically responsive over different ranges of wavelengths. The optical measurement device receives one or more optical signals emanate from optical fibers of an optical fiber cable. The optical measurement device determines an optical intensity or loss of the one or more optical signals based on a measurement made by a corresponding photodetector whose responsivity range includes a wavelength of the one or more optical signals. The optical measurement device determines one or more respective positions where the one or more optical signals impinged on a sensor. The optical measurement device determines a polarity of the optical fiber cable based on both the one or more positions and one or more or transmitting positions of the one or more optical signals, respectively.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical measurement device comprising:\n an integrating sphere configured to receive one or more optical signals that respectively emanate from one or more optical fibers of a plurality of optical fibers of an optical fiber cable; a first photodetector positioned in the integrating sphere and being optically responsive over a first range of wavelengths, the first photodetector being configured to receive at least one optical signal of the one or more optical signals, and output first data representative of the at least one optical signal; a second photodetector positioned in the integrating sphere and being optically responsive over a second range of wavelengths that is different from the first range of wavelengths, the first photodetector being configured to receive the at least one optical signal of the one or more optical signals, and output second data representative of the at least one optical signal; a sensor positioned in the integrating sphere and configured to receive the one or more optical signals and output data representative of one or more respective positions the one or more optical signals impinged on the sensor; and a processor coupled to the first photodetector, the second photodetector and the sensor and configured to:\n receive the first and second data representative of the at least one optical signal; \n select one of the first and second data for determining an optical intensity associated with the at least one optical signal; \n determine, based on the selected one of the first and second data, the optical intensity associated with the at least one optical signal; \n receive the data representative of the one or more positions; and \n determine, based on the data representative of the one or more positions, a polarity of the optical fiber cable.
