Abstract

We propose a novel test light injection tool for fiber identification below an optical splitter in a passive optical network. This tool makes it easy to input a test light into a bent fiber with a lateral light injection technique. We designed a high precision alignment technique to improve the test light injection efficiency and confirmed that the proposed tool can be used for fiber identification below an optical splitter.
