ABSTRACT:
A tapered fiber optic array for conveying light from one station to another with differently sized light reception and emission areas and precontrolled values of light receiving and emitting numerical aperture. The array comprises a unit of juxtapositioned multiple core, individually clad and tapered optical fibers. The taper ratio determines its light reception and emission area sizes while the refractive index values of individual fiber cores and cladding establish, in conjunction with the taper ratio, the numerical aperture characteristics.
