A multi-channel automatic test method and system for testing optical modules

Abstract

The invention relates to a multi-channel automatic test system used for testing optical modules and a method thereof. Multiple test optical channels are automatically switched by controlling selective conduction of multi-path optical switches arranged in pairs via a computer so that the optical modules to be tested in the multiple test optical channels are automatically tested in turn. Meanwhile, program control of optical power is realized via a variable optical attenuator, output optical power and the spectral characteristic are detected via an optical power meter and a spectrometer device, automatic control of the test system is realized via a test program and all the devices and instruments are installed in a machine frame so that a complete whole is finally formed. Optical module test efficiency and test accuracy can be enhanced by using the multi-channel automatic test system and the method thereof so that labor cost can be saved, and automatic and mass production of the product can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for testing an optical device module, in particular to a method and a system capable of automatically testing an optical module with multiple channels. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of optical communication technology, the demand for optical modules in optical communication systems is increasing. In the actual production and testing process of these optical modules, the usual practice is to manually insert an optical module into the test fixture, and then Perform the following test process: test the bit error of the optical module through a bit error meter, test the output spectrum of the optical module through a spectrometer, test the output optical power of the optical module through a power meter, etc. In the prior art, the bit error test is to test the bit error of the optical module by docking the bit error meter with the optical module. Test the bit error situation within ...
