Optical fibers are already being used in routine applications for multiobject spectroscopy and remote-instrument feeds. Although astronomers using these systems have found obvious advantages in their use, there are conflicting reports on the transmission efficiencies and focal-ratio-preservation properties of the various fibers available. The whole issue is complicated by the large number of fiber manufacturers, the great variety of fibers produced by them, and the frequent change in the availability of particular fibers as manufacturers improve or rationalize their range of products. An attempt is made to choose the fibers most suitable for astronomy and to measure the properties of those fibers relevant to their use with astronomical instruments.
