摘要: From an historical point of view, medicine has been the first field in which optical fibers have applied (1). Special bundles very thin fibres (5 – 10 μm diameter) replaced systems that were used semirigid endoscopes, both for illumination and imaging. This made possible a significant reduction size, greater flexibility cold at distal end probe.
