Abstract

An optical fiber identifier apparatus and system are provided. The apparatus includes a housing forming a pathway at which an optical fiber is positionable. The housing forms a tip end that forms a bend of the optical fiber at the pathway. At least two lenses are positioned parallel to one another. Each lens defines an optical axis extended through the bend of the optical fiber and perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the respective lens. A photo detector device is positioned to receive a beam of light from the optical fiber via the one or more lenses.
