Abstract
A testing apparatus for testing optical components includes an optical transmitter, an optical attenuator, an optical power meter and an optical receiver which are substantially rigidly coupled in a fixed relation to each other within a single housing. The system permits the common control of all the optical components such that calibration, testing and troubleshooting may be performed using a common user interface. The testing apparatus is unitary, compact and portable, and is a much more robust testing apparatus than conventional schemes.
