The Use of Fiber Optics to Study Objects on a Vibration Table

In the past the photographic industry has been unable to synchronize a recording camera to photograph random vibration tests. An optical system with coherent fiber optics has been designed to transfer to the camera the image of the part under test. The distal end of the fiber optics is rigidly affixed to the text fixture, with the proximal end attached to the camera. In this way, the lens vibrates with the part and provides the opportunity to record in real time. The entire random sequence test is photographically documented for engineering evaluation.
