Abstract: Aspects and embodiments are generally directed to optical systems, receivers, and methods. In one example, an optical receiver includes a plurality of fused fiber optic bundles, at least a first fused fiber optic bundle of the plurality of fused fiber optic bundles positioned to collect optical radiation from a scene, a multi-mode fiber optic cable coupled to each fused fiber optic bundle of the plurality of fused fiber optic bundles, the multi-mode fiber optic cable configured to propagate the collected optical radiation from each of the plurality of fused fiber optic bundles along a length of the multi-mode fiber optic cable, and a photo-detector coupled to the multi-mode fiber optic cable and configured to receive the collected optical radiation. A field of view of each fused fiber optic bundle of the plurality of fused fiber optic bundles may collectively define a substantially omnidirectional field of view of the photo-detector.

Abstract: A multiple resolution scanner device for scanning an object may comprise a first optical wave guide bundle having a light input end, a light output end, and a first reduction ratio associated therewith. The light input end of the first optical wave guide bundle is arranged to receive image light from the object being scanned. A second optical wave guide bundle having a light input end and a light output end has a second reduction ratio associated therewith that is different than the first reduction ratio associated with the first optical wave guide bundle. The light input end of the second optical wave guide bundle is arranged to receive image light from the object being scanned. A detector positioned adjacent the light output ends of the first and second optical wave guide bundles receives image light from the light output ends and produces an image data signal related to image light received from the light output ends. An optical wave guide selection apparatus operatively associated with the scanner device selects an optical wave guide bundle, the image light from which is used by the detector to produce the image data signal.

Abstract: A solid state imaging device with a plurality of line sensors in which each line sensor receives the light through the divided light paths from a straight line of a document into each unit is disclosed. The divided light paths are obtained by bending each rod lens of the rodlenses array, providing concave or convex lenses or convex mirrors or by providing transparent plates at different angles. As a result of the dividing of light path the line sensors pick up linear image data without abutting each sensor in a straight line.

Abstract: A high-resolution image sensor uses integrated arrays of photosensitive elements in connection with a lens system which projects, onto the arrays, an erect, unmagnified, unreversed real image of the object being sensed (such as a line of a document). The arrays are staggered in two or more rows so that a single, large integrated array need not be used, yet the entire width of the document line can be covered by photosensitive elements while a 1:1 ratio is maintained between object size and image size. The real image is produced on the two or more rows of arrays by two or more optical systems which have a large depth-of-focus to allow for some variation in object distance. The sensor has a high image quality and is capable of detecting color.

Abstract: An X-ray camera with a storage plate is used to generate an image to be read by a reproducer with an image reader to scan the photo-stimulated luminescence of the storage plate. Several detectors are provided, each being so correlated with several picture elements of a picture line that consecutive picture elements are each connected via a light waveguide of a first array of light waveguides to different detectors. In this arrangement, each photo-stimulated light signal of an adjacent picture element is processed by a different detector so that afterglow of the picture elements has no influence on the read-out time.
