Abstract
This invention is an optical improvement to minerals that exhibit an image translation capability. These minerals translate an image between faces; however, the minerals exhibit considerable crosstalk between crystal fibers, which reduce image sharpness, contrast, and signal. This invention greatly reduces crystal fiber crosstalk.
