Abstract
The present invention is directed to improvements in apparatus for analyzing coherent radiation in the presence of non-coherent ambient radiation subject to atmospheric scintillation effects, using unequal path interferometer apparatus and detector apparatus, said improvements comprising a closely packed bundle of fiber optic elements having an input face disposed adjacent the interferometer apparatus for receiving incident radiation passing therethrough, each of the elements being of a substantially smaller diameter than the atmospheric scintillation spatial structure; the said bundle of fiber optic elements having a medial portion wherein the elements are sorted or arranged into a plurality of subbundles; and said detector apparatus having a plurality of detector elements, each detector element being mounted adjacent one of the subbundles for being illuminated thereby.
