Abstract

Schemes using optical fibers to connect instruments to telescopes have been espoused ever since potentially useful fibers became available about a decade ago. The first published such use of fibers was apparently at Steward Observatory (HUBBARD, ANGEL and GRESHAM [1]). Since then, fiber-fed instrumentation has been constructed at numerous institutions (GRAY [2]; LUND and ENARD [3]; HILL, ANGEL and SCOTT [4], to name just a few). Theory and measurements have also been published dealing with the behavior of astronomically useful fibers (BARDEN, RAMSEY and TRUAX [5]; HJND [6]; HEACOX [7]; POWELL [8], and others).
