High-resolution air-clad imaging fibers

High-resolution air-clad imaging fibers

We present a coherent fiber bundle comprising over 11,000 doped silica cores separated by an air-filled cladding. The fiber is characterized, and its imaging quality is shown to be a substantial improvement over the commercial state of the art, with comparable resolution over an unparalleled spectra...

Zusammenfassung:We present a coherent fiber bundle comprising over 11,000 doped silica cores separated by an air-filled cladding. The fiber is characterized, and its imaging quality is shown to be a substantial improvement over the commercial state of the art, with comparable resolution over an unparalleled spectral range.
