- the first and / or the second measuring device preferably each have a photodiode with an optical filter in the beam path between the photodiode and the optical filter, wherein the optical filter transmits only light of the one wavelength range and blocks the light of the other wavelength range.
- the measuring device may be a detector array with a plurality of juxtaposed optical sensors.
- the first wavelength range which is reflected by the optical filter, preferably has a wavelength range of at least one laser light source outside the range of visible light, so that only the laser light, but no visible signal radiation is reflected by the optical filter.
- the first wavelength range can be in the infrared range beyond 800 nm while the second wavelength range is the wavelength range of visible light, in particular below 800 nm.
- the optical filter transmits only the signal radiation resulting from overheating as a result of fiber breakage in the form of white light, while the laser light of the laser light source is not transmitted.
- the transmitted signal radiation is detected by one of the measuring devices.
