Hi Aabid

A bidirectional tap or simply a passive optical tap is used to monitor and analyse the signals in the bidirectional fiber at any point. U can use this component and analyse your signals. U can use the same transceivers to receive tapped signals for processing and analysis. U might get additional help from the links attached below. I hope it helps.
