1. A device for performing error analysis of optical components, comprising:

  • an optical transmitter that transmits a test signal at a plurality of optical power levels;

    a port that outputs the test signal to an optical component and receives a version of the test signal from the optical component;

    a receiver that determines errors in the received version of the test signal at the plurality of optical power levels;

    a processor that determines an error rate at each of the optical power levels based on the determined errors, and that determines an uncertainty range for each of the determined error rates; and

    an interface that provides indication of the determined uncertainty ranges in relation to the determined error rates.
