A fiber optic buffer defect detection system including a laser, for illuminating the fiber buffer with a collimated beam of light energy, and detectors for detecting any scattering of the beam, from a defect in the fiber buffer. The detectors are mounted to collect scattering out of a radial plane defined by the angular rotation of the beam about the fiber at the point of intersection of the beam with the fiber buffer.

An optic fiber buffer defect detection system comprising: means for illuminating a first optical fiber with a collimated beam for electromagnetic energy along a transverse axis thereof, said transverse axis being substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of said fiber; means for detecting any scattering of said beam, from a defect in said fiber, out of a radial plane defined by the angular rotation of said beam about said fiber at the point of intersection of said beam with said fiber; and retaining means for retaining and illuminating means and said detecting means relative to said fiber, said retaining means including a dish, mounted in a plane substantially parallel with said transverse axis, having a first aperture at the radial center thereof for receiving said fiber and an iris diaphragm mounted in said first aperture for substantially closing around said first optical fiber.
