SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NON-INTRUSIVE DETECTION OF OPTICAL ENERGY LEAKAGE FROM OPTICAL FIBERS

摘要

A system for detecting a location of optical energy leakage from optical fibers, including a portable imaging device for generating a visible image of one or more optical fibers within a field of view of the portable imaging device, an optical energy detector assembly associated with the portable imaging device and configured to detect a location of optical energy leakage from an optical fiber within the field of view of the portable imaging device, and a processor associated with the imaging device and the optical energy detector assembly for overlaying a computer generated representation of the detected location of optical energy leakage from an optical fiber within the field of view of the portable imaging device over a visible image of the plurality of optical fibers generated by the portable imaging device to create a composite image.

1. A system for detecting a location of optical energy leakage from optical fibers, comprising:
a) a portable imaging device for generating a visible image of one or more optical fibers within a field of view of the portable imaging device; b) an optical energy detector assembly operatively associated with the portable imaging device and configured to detect a location of optical energy leakage from one or more of the optical fibers within the field of view of the portable imaging device; and c) a processor operatively associated with the imaging device and the optical energy detector assembly for overlaying a computer generated representation of the detected location of optical energy leakage from one or more of the optical fibers within the field of view of the portable imaging device over a visible image of the plurality of optical fibers generated by the portable imaging device to create a composite image identifying at least one fiber of interest.
