8.5 Summary
AMI has developed in this SBIR Phase II program a method to fabri-
cate an imaging bundle 10 m long from arsenic trisulfide glass fibers,
unclad and with core diameters of 100 µm. The bundle is wound
inside a plastic channel glued to the surface of a drum which has a
circumference of 10 m. A plastic tube is shrunk by heat around the
