Abstract

A composite optical fiber assembly of quartz and plastic, an identification method and an identification device are disclosed. The composite optical fiber assembly of quartz and plastic includes a quartz optical fiber, a connector of the quartz optical fiber, at least two plastic optical fibers, and connectors of plastic optical fibers respectively corresponding to the at least two plastic optical fibers. The plastic optical fibers are laid on the quartz optical fiber. With the structure, whether the connectors at the two ends are properly connected can be intuitively inspected by eyes and displayed.

Claims (9)

1. A method for identifying connection state of a composite optical fiber assembly, the optical fiber assembly comprising: a quartz optical fiber, a connector of the quartz optical fiber, at least two plastic optical fibers, and connectors of plastic optical fibers respectively corresponding to the at least two plastic optical fibers, wherein each of the at least two plastic optical fibers are laid on the quartz optical fiber, wherein the method comprises:

determining whether the connector of the quartz optical fiber is properly connected; and

depending on the result of the determination, lightening one of the at least two plastic optical fibers on the quartz optical fiber of which the connector has been properly connected, enabling the one of the at least two plastic optical fibers to conspicuously highlight a connection state of the connector of the quartz optical fiber.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein lightening one of the at least two plastic optical fibers on the quartz optical fiber of which the connector has been properly connected comprises:

introducing a light source into the connector of the one of the at least two plastic optical fibers, and conspicuously highlighting the connection state of the connector of the quartz optical fiber by a part or the whole of the one of the at least two plastic optical fibers.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein depending on the result of the determination, lightening one of the at least two plastic optical fibers on the quartz optical fiber of which the connector has been properly connected, comprises:

when the result of the determination is positive, introducing a green light source into the connector of the one of the at least two plastic optical fibers, such that the one of the at least two plastic optical fibers conspicuously highlights that the connector of the quartz optical fiber has been properly connected.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

when the result of the determination is negative, introducing a red light source into the connector of one of the at least two plastic optical fibers, such that the one of the at least two plastic optical fibers conspicuously highlights that the connector of the quartz optical fiber has been improperly connected.
