Abstract:
A light transmitting assembly utilizing fiber optic elements to pass light from a source to a sensing station. The assembly includes a mounting block or body for the fiber optic elements, having a single input channel adjacent the light source and plural output channels located adjacent the sensing station. The fiber optic elements are arranged in layers in the input channel, and each layer is randomly arranged in a separate output channel. Shadows cast on the input end of the fiber optic elements are diffused or averaged out over the layers, and a substantially equal amount of light emanates from each output channel.
Abstract:
A target assembly for a storage/display deformographic tube comprising a Fabry-Perot type interference filter deposited on a dielectric target material. The filter comprises a deformographic film sandwiched between two mirrors, the inner dielectric mirror comprised of a quarter wavelength stack of alternating layers of materials with greatly differing indexes of refraction and the outer conducting mirror comprising a thin layer of appropriate metal such as silver. The deformographic film should be deposited in a layer which is an integral number of one-half wavelengths.
