Ma. Bolshtyansky et By. Zeldovich, TRANSMISSION OF THE IMAGE SIGNAL WITH THE USE OF A MULTIMODE FIBER, Optics communications, 123(4-6), 1996, pp. 629-636
Two schemes of the image acquisition through a multimode fiber are sug
gested. Both are based on the assumption that the input-to-output prop
agation Green function is stabilized by some or other technique. In bo
th schemes the object is characterized by the transverse distribution
of reflection pattern, and the reflected signal is to be collected by
a photodetector for further computer processing. The applications for
endoscopy are discussed.
