Patent EP-1531348-A1 (EP)
Inventor: CONTAG KARSTEN
IPC: G02B6/10
Filed: 2003-11-11
Abstract: A method for determining the angular position of at least one
axial optical asymmetry of a cylindrical body, in particular
of an optical fiber, provides for the following steps: the
body (4) is illuminated by a light beam (7) and is rotated
through an angular interval (α1 - α4) about its longitudinal
axis. At a plurality of different angular rotational
positions (α) of the body (4), at least a respective value
(I) of an intensity of light which has passed through the
body is determined. A characteristic value of precision (CT,
AA) for the determination of the angular rotational position
(α) of the body (4) is selected and the size of an angular
rotational step width (Δα) is determined and adjusted
dependent on the selected value of precision (CT, AA). A
plurality of said light intensity values (I) is analyzed as a
function of the angular rotational position (α) of the body
(4) to determine the angular rotational position (α) of the
body. The invention provides for the possibility of less time
needed in an alignment or measurement process.
