A large number of fiber filaments are gathered into a bundle of fibers having a diameter of dB, and the basic characteristics of the bundle are the same as those of a single fiber core. The light transmission characteristics of the Fiber Optic Bundles are similar to those of a single fiber. Tilting the bundle of fibers relative to their axis affects the output light characteristics. An optical fiber with an outer ring of the beam end face converts the uneven input light into a uniform output light. Twisted fiber Parallel array of fibers Figure 1: Same input light, different output light This is possible because the direction of the twisted fiber is close to the direction of the coupling light at the input. After the light enters the fiber bundle entrance and is refracted, the light coupled to the fiber propagates in the same direction along the fiber axis. Because the light propagating in the twisted fiber at the input end has the maximum intensity at the 0° angle, that is, the fiber axis, and the output end fiber is parallel to the axis of the fiber bundle, the minimum light intensity appearing at the position of the fiber bundle axis (Fig. 1 ) will be compensated. The geometry of the fiber bundle input and output can be designed to meet the lighting needs. It can be square, rectangular, straight or with multiple branches of different shapes or sizes. In this way, the fiber optic component can pass light from one end to the other.

The fibers are tightly clamped and cured together with epoxy. This results in two additional losses, which are only related to the bundle: gap loss and cladding loss. The end of the fiber can be specially treated by heating, so that the fiber is hexagonal and arranged more closely. This reduces the gap loss and increases light transmission by 10%.

Arrayed fiberoptics are a special type of fiber optic structure composed of multiple individual fiber bundles arranged in an array. Each individual fiber bundle has its own transmission channel and can transmit light signals independently. Arrayed fiberoptics play an important role in various applications. Fiber Optic Sensing: Arrayed fiber optics can be used as building blocks for fiber optic sensors. By using multiple fiber bundles, it is possible to simultaneously monitor and measure physical quantities such as temperature, strain, and pressure at multiple locations. Arrayed fiber optic sensors offer high sensitivity and multi-channel measurements. Medical Field: Arrayed fiber optics find wide applications in medical imaging and diagnostics. They can be used to construct high-resolution fiber optic coherence tomography (OCT) systems and fiber optic microscopes for real-time visualization and diagnosis of tissue and cellular structures. Industrial and Scientific Applications: In industrial and scientific research fields, arrayed fiber optics are used in applications such as spectroscopic analysis, laser processing, and optical measurements. Arrayed fiber optics with multiple channels provide larger sampling range and higher data processing capabilities.
