摘要	With advancements in high-resolution imaging optical fiber bundle fabrication technology, traditional photoelectric imaging system have become "flexible" with greatly reduced volume and weight. However, traditional image quality evaluation models are limited by the coupling discrete sampling effect of fiber-optic image bundles and charge-coupled device (CCD) pixels. This limitation substantially complicates the design, optimization, assembly, and evaluation image quality of the coupled discrete sampling imaging system. Based on the transfer process of grayscale cosine distribution optical signal in the fiber-optic image bundle and CCD, a mathematical model of coupled modulation transfer function (coupled-MTF) is established. This model can be used as a basis for following studies on the convergence and periodically oscillating characteristics of the function. We also propose the concept of the average coupled-MTF, which is consistent with the definition of traditional MTF. Based on this concept, the relationships among core distance, core layer radius, and average coupled-MTF are investigated. Results show that the coupled-MTF oscillation converges to a fixed value when the deviation between a spatial frequency of input signal and Nyquist frequency is 1% and when the total number of pixels in the coupled system is more than 1000. The minimal frequency deviation corresponds to the slow velocity of the oscillational convergent. The oscillation amplitude of coupled-MTF differs in tangential and sagittal directions in a manner related to the corresponding pixel coupling error. The coupled-MTF periodically oscillates with the alignment error between the coupled pixel. One cycle is equivalent to the diameter of fiber cladding. The observation from the simulations further reveal that the distance between adjacent fiber cores and the dimension of core layer are directly related to the system imaging quality and the signal-to-noise ratio. Moreover, the average coupled-MTF can be used to quantitatively describe the function of related parameters and the imaging quality of the system.
