Coherent fiber bundles (CFB) are commonly used for endoscopic imaging, e.g. in biomedicine like non-destructive in-vivo diagnostics on brain tissue or inside cochlear. Usually, a CFB with several 10,000 cores is employed, allowing pixelated imaging of only intensity information due to unknown phase deviations for each single core, limiting the applicable optical measurement methods. However, using holographic image formation at the distal fiber facet enables 3D imaging by detecting only intensity information through the fiber. We demonstrate a miniaturized lensless endoscope for vibration measurements through a coherent fiber bundle.
