Abstract:
For testing whether an optical fiber is properly connected to a device, a beam of light is output to the optical fiber. An intensity is detected of light reflected by the device back through the optical fiber in response to the beam of light. In response to the detected intensity, a determination is made of whether the optical fiber is properly connected to the device.
