STUDY OF DETERMINE DESIGN CRITERIA FOR A STEREO FIBER OPTIC PERISCOPE FOR AIRCRAFT APPLICATION.
Abstract
A program was conducted to investigate the feasibility of substituting a fiber optics periscope system for conventional direct viewing through the windshield in high performance aircraft operation. The requirements for a stereoscopic image presentation possessing time, distance, and spacial relationship are delineated. The stringent specifications imposed on dual fiber bundles by the stereoscopic application led to the successful development of a single-bundle telescope with flicker-free time sharing. A working model to demonstrate the single-bundle, time-shared system was constructed. Methods for providing display systems with long eye relief and large exit pupils are described. A working model incorporating a large spherical mirror was constructed for use with stereo slides to demonstrate these principles. (Author)
