LINKED SCANNER IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A device for image transmission includes a first scanner at a first location and a second scanner at a second location, with an optical fiber linking the scanners. The first scanner scans the first location and couples light from the first location to the optical fiber. The fiber transmits the light to th e second location where the second scanner constructs an image of the second location from the light. The two scanners are synchronized so that the constructed image corresponds directly to the scanned scene. The second scanner may be part of a retinal scanner, so that the image is formed direct ly on the user's retina. In another embodiment, the each of the scanners acts a s a transceiver so that imaging is bi-directional.
