Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A fiber end-surface inspection device and method illuminates the fiber end-surface from at least 2 different illumination angles, taking observations at the different angles, for detection of fiber end-surface imperfections, scratches or the like.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A fiber end-surface detection device, comprising: a first light source positioned to illuminate a first prism adapted to reflect light from the first light source toward the fiber end surface at a first illumination angle; a second light source positioned to illuminate a second prism adapted to reflect light from the second light source toward the fiber end surface at a second illumination angle, the second prism positioned between the first prism and the…
