I’m not sure optic fiber alone can be used that way. It needs lasers I thought? It’s not a sensor. Sounds like you’re suggesting piping the live photons passively from the image plane elsewhere. Like diverting rainwater from roof with gutters?

Well endoscopes have active lighting going one way and the target is close enough for reflective illumination

I think your idea could possibly work if the tejescopecend had some boosting like with a photomultiplier tube of some sort

obviously there would be an interpolation problem packing the cylinders at the ends but at the same time it doesn't seem to matter for endoscopes

Yeah even 1 megapixel implies a 1000x1000 square bundle if each fiber is one pixel. Unless each fiber can be more than 1 pixel

honestly i assumed "optical fibre" just meant a material that when bundled would faithfully conduct an image from one surface to another

Apparently not. It transmits a Gaussian corresponding to the fiber’s’ain mode so it’s 1 pixel per strand if I’m understanding correctly

Dunno. I’m now fairly confused. Digital is easy since it’s a light bitstream. This analog use case is tricky.
