Seeing at a distance with multicore fibers: All-optical, ultra-long-distance image acquisition and transmission system

https://phys.org/news/2024-06-distance-multicore-fibers-optical-ultra.html

"all-fiber multiplexed parallel acquisition, transmission 1-piece system... devoid of circuits obviates necessity for intricate signal conversion processes... resilient to noise stemming from incoherent light sources... image data encoded in optical domain through optical fiber coupling... high-capacity, high-quality transmission... digital aperture enables image recovery/ reconstruction from end-plane image concealing original information entirely, enabling real-time scene reconstruction from distances of up to 1 km"
