Abstract

The technologies described herein are generally directed to using a loopback component to test a single fiber optic strand. For example, a method described herein can include generating a first optical beam of a first wavelength. The method can further include transmitting the first optical beam via a fiber optic fiber. Further, the method can include receiving via the fiber optic fiber, a second optical beam of a second wavelength, with the second optical beam having a characteristic of the first optical beam, and with the second optical beam being generated by a non-electrical conversion of the first light of the first wavelength to the second light of the second wavelength.
