Principle of Image Fiber:
Imaging fiber is a kind of multi-core fiber that consists of a large number of cores (pixels) set in a coherent configuration and common cladding. Each pixel can independently transmit light as with a conventional optical fiber.
An image projected on to one end of the image fiber is divided into many parts by each pixel and delivered to the other end of the fiber. Therefore the image can be transmitted as a whole over the entire length of the fiber.

Processing:
Each image fiber can be specially processed with various grades of polish, or twisting can be applied for image rotation and lens assembling. Fujikura can also create semi-manufactured or complete fiber scopes to suit each customer’s specific needs. For further details regarding assembly, polishing, twisting or terminal treatment of fibers, please contact us.
