- 11 - OPTICAL FIBER SIGNAL TEST CLIP Abstract The invention relates to a hand-held device for detecting whether or not an optical fiber is carrying a light signal. The device includes a spring loaded hook for grabbing an exposed optical fiber anywhere along its length, thereby introducing microbending, a photodetector for responding to the presence of light emitted in the proximity of the microbend, and a light emitting diode connected by way of an amplifier to the photodetector for indicating when a light signal has been detected. Upon release of the spring loaded hook, the fiber returns to its normal state. The device can be easily modified to indicate not only the presence of a light signal, but also the strength of the signal and the direction in which the signal is being transmitted.
