Abstract: Fiber optics — the technology of transmitting element-by-element a light image from one point to another — solves many knotty problems where photometric efficiency is at a premium and flexibility in design is important. Fiber optic bundles, consisting of many thousands of small diameter (less than 0.003 in.) glass fibers can be either solid blocks or flexible light tubes. Radio Corporation of America, with the cooperation of American Optical Company, has developed a variety of configurations of fiber optics bundles to demonstrate the importance and the versatility of this new tool in electronics. The most challenging, and perhaps the most important, use of fiber optics is as an image shape transducer. A brief review of basic principles is given preceding descriptions of various applications of fiber optics in electrooptical systems.
