| Abstract: | The principle of operation of a glass-fiber image converter is outlined. Calculations are made indicating that a Perot-Fabry interferometer used with the image converter and an electro-optical amplifier gives an increased relative aperture, compared with the usual setup which consists of the interferometer with a diaphragm and a photomultiplier. Some results obtained with an experimental image-converter sample and the technique of manufacturing such converters are described.The authors express their gratitude to the laboratory assistant R.P. Rebezovaya, who helped in sorting and arranging the fibers. |
