Abstract
A fiber inspection device is configured to be removably attached to a portable camera, such as a smartphone or other mobile computing device. The device may be arranged to have a slim form factor that complements the form factor of the smartphone or other device. The device may be configured to inspect a polish and/or cleave of the optical fiber. By leveraging the built in camera, computing power and user interface of a smartphone or other mobile computing device, a fiber inspection device can be inexpensively produced for inspecting a polish of an optical fiber endface using mass market camera hardware and software, without the need to develop dedicated electronics hardware or embedded software.
