"Ultrahigh-resolution fiber-optic image guides derived from Microstructured polymer optical fiber performs", Optical Letter, inpress,2009
Ultrahigh-resolution fiber-optic image guides-fused image fiber,
faceplate, and taper—were fabricated by using microstructured
polymer optical fiber (MPOF) preforms composed of two polymers:
polymethylmethacrylate and polystyrene. The pixel diameter in the
resultant MPOF-based image guides was as small as 3 m.
The imaging capabilities of these types of fiber-optic elements
were demonstrated.
