Embodiment Construction

[0020] Non-limiting areas of application of embodiments of the invention may include detecting the presence of light traveling along an optical fiber and monitoring the power level and / or optical signal-to-noise (OSNR) of light traveling along an optical fiber .

[0021] Figure 1A and Figure 1B Shown is a fiber optic cable 102 terminated by a photodetector enabled connector 104 in accordance with a non-limiting embodiment. The fiber optic cable 102 can include a length of optical fiber that can include a bare fiber 108 and a fiber jacket 110 wrapped around the bare fiber 108 (in Figure 1A shown partially removed). For its part, the photodetector enabled connector 104 has a primary light guide that may also include a length of optical fiber comprising bare optical fiber 114 and an optional fiber jacket or ferrule 116 (also Figure 1A shown partially removed), the fiber jacket or ferrule 116 surrounds the bare fiber 114 for additional support. The term "bare fiber" is used...

Abstract

In various aspects, there is provided an optical connector (104, 752, 762) having a built-in photodetector (124) for detecting light in the optical connector (104, 752, 762); An adapter (206, 706) for detachably receiving an optical connector (104, 752, 762), the adapter comprising an electrode (140) configured to make electrical contact with the optical connector (104, 752, 762) The electrode (208); the connection device (202), the connection device includes an adapter (206, 706) configuration for detachably receiving a plurality of optical connectors (104, 752, 762), each adapter (206, 706) A system comprising an electrode (208) configured to make electrical contact with an electrode (140) of a corresponding optical connector (104, 752, 762); a system having an interface (750, 760) and a processing unit (312, 712), the said interface is configured to be in optical connection with an optical connector (104, 752, 762), said processing unit is configured to receive an indication from the connector (104, 752, 762) and generate a feedback signal indicative of said indication; and and / or an optical connector (104, 752, 762) that generates an electrical signal in response to light.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 328,184, filed April 27, 2016, and U.S. Patent Application No. 15 / 440,759, filed February 23, 2017, both of which are hereby Incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] This application relates generally to optical communication systems, and more particularly to connectors for interconnecting optical fibers in such systems. Background technique [0004] In order to effectively manage optical connections between pairs of optical fibers, it is useful to know whether the correct connections have been made and the power level of the light transmitted through these connections. For this, access to the light transmitted through the connected optical fiber is important. However, since modern optical systems have increasingly dense fiber optic connections, the space occupied by conventional diagnostic solutions is inconvenient. ...
