The point-spread function of fiber-coupled area detectors

The point-spread function (PSF) of a powdered-phosphor fiber-optic taper-coupled CCD area detector was measured, and an analytic expression for its functional form proposed. The ‘tails’ of this PSF were shown to be due almost entirely to the fiber-optic taper, with no contribution from the phosphor itself.
