光纤传像束是一种可任意弯曲的传输图像的无源器件。与传统的光学成像器件相比,它具有重量轻、使用自由度大、易实现复杂空间结构的图像传递等优点,被广泛地应用于医学、工业及科研、航天、军事等多种领域。本文介绍了光纤传像束的原理,在医疗、工业及国防安全等领域的应用以及国内外研究状况。
Optical fiber bundles(OFB) are flexible passive devices used for transmitting pictures. Compared to the traditional optical imaging devices, they have virtues such as light weight, more dimensions and easier to transmit images in complex spatial structures. Therefore, the OFB can be widely used in many fields, such as medical care, industry, researches, aviation and military etc. The principle of OFB, the applications in medicine, industry, military and the resent research progress in OFB are introduced in this paper.
