THE FIBER-OPTICAL ELEMENTS FOR IMAGE TRANSMISSION ON THE BASIS OF DISORDERED NANOSTRUCTURED GLASS-LIKE COMPOSITE MATERIALS
We investigated the peculiarities of the formation and optical properties of fiber-optical elements on the basis of disordered nanostructured glass-like composite materials. Based on the analysis of the electron microscopy data it was revealed that the size of the structural light-carrier are 100-200 nm. New technology for the manufacture of fiber-optical elements on the basis of disordered nanostructured glass-like composite materials is developed. The sizes of a single structural ele- ment are less than the wavelength (100-200 nm). Obtained by this technology composite transmitters demonstrate the imagination like fiber optic plate or rigid fiber-optic bundle. The samples do not give a distorted image of a straight line and have a resolution more than 50 lines/mm.
