ABSTRACT:
A multi-fiber for use in an endoscope having a plurality of fiber optic bundles. Each bundle comprises cores A, B, C and D, each core having a different index of refraction. The index difference between cores is at least 0.02 to produce mismatch in the propagation constants in the cores and to substantially reduce crosstalk among the cores.
