ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber connection arrangement includes an alignment sleeve for coaxially aligning optical fibers mounted in ferrules. A gap between the ends of the optical fibers allows some light to escape. A sensor responds to the leaked light, and the resulting signal is processed to determine whether light signal is present or absent.
