Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus and method for accurately and reproducibly locating a planar array of optical fibers in space are disclosed. A single acousto-optic modulator is used to accurately and substantially-simultaneously deflect multiple beams of different-wavelength radiation energy to each of said accurately-positioned optical fibers. Both aspects of the invention can be used in an apparatus and method for removing occlusions from vessels, as previously disclosed. L'invention porte sur un appareil et un procédé permettant de localiser et de manière reproductible un réseau plan de fibres optiques dans l'espace. On utilise à cet effet un seul modulateur acousto-optique défléchissant avec précision et quasi simultanément plusieurs faisceaux d'énergie radiative de différentes longueurs d'onde sur chacune desdites fibres positionnées avec précision. Les deux aspects de l'invention peuvent servir dans des appareils et procédés destinés à éliminer les occlusions vasculaires.
