The Tiny Giant: Fiber Optic Tapers Revolutionizing Compact Imaging
The image which is pressed against one end of fiber optic inverter (FOI) is resolved to the correspondent pixels by millions of fibers, and the pixel information is transmitted to the other end of the FOT one by one through the total reflection of light. The pixels are enlarged or reduced with the fiber diameter and are imaged at the output end according to the original arrangement.
