Abstract
A monitor of a plurality of optical signals utilizing fiber optics which form an array. An image of the array is captured and the captured image is processed for detecting a quality of an optical signal such as the presence, absence, intensity, wavelength, or other quality of the optical signal. A method of monitoring a plurality of optical signals by capturing a plurality of optical signals from an array of signals and detecting a quality of at least one optical signal is also disclosed.
