Brief

This article presents a new method for testing the parameters of fiber optic imaging devices, using a single integral sphere and a CCD camera to measure parameters such as transmittance and distortion.

Summary

A new method for testing the parameters of fiber optic imaging devices, such as fiber optic tapers (FOT), fiber optic plates (FOP), and fiber optic inverters (FOI), is proposed. This method utilizes a single integral sphere and a CCD camera to measure various parameters. Some of the advantages of this method include a simple structure, the ability to obtain a wealth of information, and fast testing operation. The parameters that can be measured include total or partial transmittances, center-edge transmittances relative errors, resolution target, and pincushion and barrel distortions. This is achieved by processing the CCD images of the fiber optic imaging devices. The testing principle was analyzed and proven feasible through experiments.
