Abstract:
A fiber optic device comprised of a pair of bundles of lightconducting optical fibers each having light-receiving and lightemitting opposite end faces. A light-emitting face of one bundle and a light-receiving face of the other bundle are coupled together unsymmetrically with respect to axes of correspondingly interfacially related fibers of the two bundles wherewith light entering the uncoupled light-receiving face of the one bundle at a given numerical aperture will be emitted from the uncoupled light-emitting face of the other bundle at an angular spread of larger numerical aperture than that of the entering light.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an improvement in a method of gas plating the walls of channels of a multi-channeled election amplifying element by thermal decomposition of a metal plating vapor continually directed through said channels which comprises the steps of preheating said plating vapor to nearly its decomposition temperature prior to entrance thereof into said channels of said elements and intermittently heating said element to a temperature at least equal to that of the decomposition temperature of said plating vapor and allowing said element to cool to a temperature below said decomposition temperature during said intervals between said intermittent heating to effect flushing of said residue gases of said vapor in said channels by said continuous flow thereof during said intervals.
