ABSTRACT:
A TV camera picks up images of the first and second polarization-maintaining optical fibers, while light is irradiated to their side. First and second values are calculated based on the luminance peaks of the images by using an image processing unit connected to the TV camera. The axes of respective cores and respective stress applying members of the polarization-maintaining optical fibers can be easily aligned by moving the fibers such that the first and second values displayed on said display are equal.
