Abstract

See full text

A side surface of a coated optical fiber is irradiated with parallel light, and a light beam reflected by an outer surface of a resin portion to a particular direction and a light beam reflected by a boundary surface between the resin portion and a glass portion to a direction in parallel with the particular direction are selectively detected by an image sensor using a condenser lens and a pinhole member. A distance d.sub.2 between the surface reflection light beam and the boundary reflection light beam and a distance d.sub.1 between incident light beams corresponding to those reflection light beams are measured. A coating state is estimated based on the distances d.sub.1 and d.sub.2 thus measured.
