Abstract
A fiber optic scanner includes two fiber bundles, each transforming a linear array into a circular one. The circularly arranged bundle ends cooperate with synchronously rotating deflectors which, in conjunction with single line fiber optics couple a deflector to a light source, provided the linear ends of the two bundles are positioned to be coupled to each other through a field of view.
