ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic image transporting device for converting the shape of optical images directed thereinto. The device is formed of an initially rigid multifiber conduit having a leachable fiber connecting matrix. The matrix is removed from one end of the conduit and replaced with a fiber bonding resin. The intermediate portion of the conduit is then leached, keeping its opposite end intact as one image transmitting face of the device, and the resin bonded end is cut into sections of predetermined shapes and sizes which are reassembled to form a differently shaped second image transmitting face.
