Abstract: Recent developments in the field of fiber optics have made possible scanning and dissection of images with high spatial as well as temporal resolution. Such fiber optical configurations in the form of image dissectors are used for high-speed photography and other optical scanning systems. Experiments using the fiber optics image dissector for converting rectangular image format to a linear strip in conjunction with a rotating drum high-speed camera are described and photographs yielding time resolution of 10−7 sec and better have been achieved. Various other high-speed camera systems using fiber optics image dissectors and rotating drum or rotating mirror are described, and it is shown that high spatial and temporal resolution as well as a large number of frames are achieved. The possibilities of extending the spectral range of high-speed photography to x-rays and the ultraviolet and infrared regions using fiber optics are discussed.
