Fiber optic plates refer to ultra thin sheets or plates made using closely packed bundles of optical fibers. Traditional fiber optic cables utilize thick plastic coatings and metallic wire structures to encase and protect the fragile glass fibers. In contrast, fiber optic plates are extremely thin, sometimes only a few microns thick, and utilize novel materials and manufacturing techniques to embed optical fibers in tight, orderly patterns ...
