An image conduit is an optical device that can transfer an image plane spatially. It can use fiber optics.
It uses a bundle of fibers. Each fiber has TIR.
They are also called image guides, leached image bundles, and leached fiber bundles.
It is also known as a fiber optic image bundle.[1]
They can be rigid or flexible. If they are flexible they are known as flexible imaging bundles.[2]
High fiber count and small fiber size corresponds to higher image resolution.[2] Each fiber is like one pixel.
Suppliers
Edmund optics sells image conduits as of the year 2024.[3]
Schott advertises that they can produce flexible image guides with hundreds of thousands of individual fibers.[2]
Applications
Image bundles can be used to masswise decouple components of a near-eye display such that the electrooptic modulation and driver circuitry happens in a physically disparate location from the user's face.
