Abstract

A fiber optic device for nonuniform imaging between two planar surfaces made by taking a pair of cuts through longitudinally spaced portions of a fiber optic bundle, at least one of the cuts intersecting a tapering portion of the bundle and being other than in a plane perpendicular to the bundle axis, and then deforming the length of bundle so cut out to bring at least one of its ends into a changed shape.
