Abstract
A fiber inspection device is configured to inspect a cleave of an optical fiber endface. The device may also be configured to inspect a polish of the optical fiber using the same imaging hardware and/or software. Just as it is important to attain a smooth uniform polish of the optical fiber endface, it is equally important that the initial cleave generate a flat and uniform surface. If an adequate cleave is not attained, signal attenuation may occur, even if the polish of the endface is of otherwise high quality. Thus, by enabling cleave inspection both in the field and lab settings, overall quality control can be increased.
