Abstract
A monitor for optical fibers includes a housing configured for use in a subsea environment, a light source, an optical sensor, and a controller coupled to the light source and to the optical sensor. In some embodiments, the monitor further includes a power source. In some embodiments, the monitor further includes a transceiver. In some embodiments, the monitor is coupled to an optical fiber system being run into a subsea well. The monitor tests the integrity of the optical fiber system during the running of the optical fiber system while the monitor is subsea. In some embodiments, the monitor is coupled to a subsea tree, and tests the integrity of the optical fiber system after running the optical fiber system into the well. In some embodiments, the monitor sends a signal to indicate the condition of the optical fiber system while the monitor is subsea.
