Infrared image guide with bundled As-S glass fibers.
An infrared image guide made of bundled As-S glass fiber cores has been developed. The transmission range of this fiber was 2-6 microm. At the 3.3- and 4.8-microm wavelengths the minimum optical loss was 0.6 dB/m. With this image guide efficient transmission of the thermal image was experimentally established.
