Abstract
Abstract Optical fibers each having a light-conducting main body section of circular cross-sectional configuration and a pair of elongated, relatively thin light-absorbing filaments extending along and fused to the main body section, one at each of diametrically opposite sides thereof. Image-transfer devices comprised of a multiplicity of lengths of the fibers are formed by juxtapositioning such lengths with diameters thereof which correspond to the diametral positions of light-absorbing filaments on respective main body sections disposed parallel to each other throughout the assembly and with said light-absorbing filaments disposed in spaces between said main body sections.
