Abstract

In most fiber optic imagers, their main differences from their bulk optic imaging counterparts are that the free-space beam path and bulk optics components are replaced by optical fibers and fiber optic components. These seem to be relatively trivial differences; however, they greatly improve the functionality and practicality of the fiber optic imaging systems compared to bulk systems for a wide range of applications—especially for endoscopic, in situ imaging.
