摘要：Apparatus and methods for verifying an acceptable splice termination includepropagating light energy into the stub optical fiber of a fiber optic connector (10),

detecting and collecting the amount of optical power emanating from the stub opticalfiber at a termination area of the connector, converting the optical power to an electricalsignal proportional to the amount of collected optical power, and displaying theelectrical signal on a feedback monitor, such as an optical power meter, an LCD bargraph, or an LED. An initial (i.e., reference) value is obtained with the field optical fiber notin physical contact with the stub optical fiber. A final (i.e., terminated) value is obtainedwith the field optical fiber in physical contact with the stub optical fiber and terminatedto the connector. The final value is compared to the initial value to determine whetherthe change (i.e., difference) is sufficient. Alternatively, the final value is compared to apredetermined limit or threshold.
