    摘要: An optical fiber detector, and a method and system for optical fiber detection are disclosed. One embodiment comprises a receptacle, to receive and position an optical fiber connector, an infra-red (“IR”) source for providing an incident IR beam onto a cross-sectional face of an optical fiber and a cross-sectional face of the optical fiber connector, and an IR detector for receiving a reflected IR beam from the face of the optical fiber and the face of the optical fiber connector and generating a detector signal representative of the intensity of the reflected IR beam, wherein the intensity of the reflected IR beam is representative of the presence and type of the optical fiber. It is contemplated that the optical fiber detector of this invention can be implemented or incorporated in any machine or system requiring connection of an optical fiber to a light source.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide an optical connection that protects the optical fiber or cable. This optical connection includes an optical coupling to communicatively couple an optical fiber to an optical device. A mechanical guide receives the optical fiber proximate to the optical device. This mechanical guide prevents excessive or limits the amount of bending of individual optical fibers or cable proximate to the optical device. This may be achieved by receiving the optical fiber within a mechanical guide having a predetermined bend radius based on the optical fiber or optical cable running inside. By limiting the potential for excessive bending of an optical fiber proximate to an optical coupling the potential for attenuation of the transmitted light within the fiber due to extreme bending is decreased.
