Explain the advantages of coherent ordered fiber optic bundl

Explain the advantages of coherent (ordered) fiber optic bundles over incoherent (unordered) bundles. Also, if you can please name one or more applications that require coherent bundles, and one or more applications for which incoherent bundles would suffice.

Solution

Advantages of coherent fiber optic bundles :

(i) They can be used for image formatation

(ii) They can used to transport images for a large distance

Aplications that required coherent bundles:

(i) Field acquisition and guiding in multi-object spectroscopy

(ii) Image slicers

(iii) Laparoscopic gall bladder removals

Apllication for which incoherent bundles would suffice:

(i) incoherent bundles are widely used for illumination purposes.
