Inspection of Fiber Ends and Joints
Visual fault locators can help to locate faults of fibers, in particular of splices. Such a device contains a visible (often red) laser source in a little box with a fiber connector, where one can connect the fiber under test. Some visible light is then injected into the fiber. Only at locations where there is a fault, a significant amount of light will be scattered out of the fiber and can be seen. Obviously, mechanical splices should be transparent for that inspection method to work well.
There are also fiber microscopes for inspecting fiber ends. These can be less expensive than all-purpose microscopes, since they can work with a fixed (relatively high) magnification. It can be very useful to regularly inspect e.g. the quality of fiber cleaves and polished surfaces, because this is essential for successful splicing and for low-loss connectorization. Microscopic inspection requires only minimum time – much less than a later search for faults and their repair.
Special interferometers are available for inspecting fiber ends. They can be used to check the surface quality and the dome radius. Typically, the fiber under test is inserted together with its connector.
