ABSTRACT:
A method of making coherent optical fiber bundles and coherent optical fiber face plates. The method includes the steps of forming a laminated billet by heat and pressure from a plurality of stacked disc modules. Each disc module is defined by two transparent discs, one relatively thick and having one index of refraction and the other relatively thin and having an index of refraction less than the first. The billet is then longitudinally skived to form a veneer strip of indefinite length. The veneer is then coated on one or both faces by transparent sheets having similar optical properties, i.e., different indices of refraction, and may include a light-absorbing or light reflecting layer on one sheet. A second billet is formed and transversely cut to define a fiber optic face plate. A second billet may also be formed and skived to yield a coherent fiber optic bundle.
