This application note describes how swept insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL) measurements can be performed on optical components requiring polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber input using the CTP10 test platform. The IL RL OPM2 module serves as an interface between the tunable laser and the device under test (DUT) for real-time power monitoring of the laser source and to measure the backreflection light.
