AB - Optical fibers, fiber-optic elements, and polymicrochannel electromultiplying plates are the key base elements in many devices, setups, and systems. The rapid development of fiber-optic technology is due to its significant advantages, the chief one being the significant decrease in the sizes of optical systems (approxi- mately by an order of magnitude) when fiber elements are employed. The application of fibers in different areas of technology raises the problem of increasing the production of lightguides and fiber-optic components. However the significant number of optical fibers that are rejected has made it necessary to impose tighter requirements on the measuring apparatus used for monitoring the geo- metric and optical characteristics. The most efficient and promising methods are contact-free optical methods. There are very many such methods and they are quite simple to implement. Owing to the requirement that the accuracy be increased significantly, the overall trend in the development of these methods, is toward decreasing the wavelength of the radia- tion used to probe the object being measured and switching to visible radiation. Over the last few years a large number of contact-free optical methods, based on different optical phenomena, have been developed. These include interference and diffraction of a plane
