Abstract
An optical receiver is provided. The optical receiver includes a fiber support structure located on a front side of a back plate. The fiber support structure supports and guides a plurality of scintillating fibers in a spiral arrangement extending from a back orifice through the back plate. A central guide located around the back orifice is adapted to gather and collect the plurality of scintillating fibers from their disperse spiral arrangement on the fiber support structure and direct them through the back orifice as a bundle into a photo detector located behind the back plate.
