Abstract:
A system for testing an optical fiber includes an optical source apparatus and an optical image sensor apparatus. The optical source apparatus includes a fiber optic connector that connects to a first end of the fiber, and a light emitting device which emits light into the first end of the fiber. The optical image sensor apparatus includes a fiber optic connector that connects to a second end of the fiber, an image sensor that receives light output from the second end of the fiber and generates corresponding image data, a lens array in an optical path between the fiber optic connector and the image sensor, and a processor coupled to the image sensor. The processor, in operation, determines a set of two-dimensional positions based on the image data output from the image sensor, and determines a test result based on the set of two-dimensional positions.
