Radial image transfer by cylindrical, step-index optical waveguidesThe theoretical extent of image transfer by perfect, cylindrical, step-index optical waveguides is examined. Azimuthal image structure is essentially removed by such waveguides, while substantial radial image structure is transmitted. The consequences of this behavior for optical-fiber image scramblers are discussed; such devices may be unsuitable for simple photometric applications but appear to be potentially useful in reducing zonal errors in slit spectroscopy.
