ABSTRACT:
A system for monitoring discontinuities in optical power transmitted through a fiber optic connector subjected to environmental stress is disclosed. Discontinuity events are defined in terms of amplitude and duration. The monitoring system comprises a detector unit, a fiber optic interface unit and a discontinuity monitor. The detector unit converts the optical signal supplied by the fiber optic connector to electronic form. The fiber optic interface unit determines the amplitude of discontinuities and the discontinuity monitor determines the duration of discontinuities.
