Abstract: The invention relates to a waveguide (1) for transmitting electromagnetic waves, in particular for transmitting image information from a proximal end (2) of the waveguide to a distal end (4) of the waveguide, along a transport direction (5) extending between the proximal and distal ends, and over a cross-section extending transversely to the transport direction, wherein light may be transmitted through the waveguide (1) by Anderson localization, and wherein the waveguide (1) has an improved properties compared to conventional fiber optic bundles.

Abstract: The current disclosure relates to highly homogeneous glass sputter targets with a large aspect ratio and a high relative density. The glass sputter targets have properties that are desirable for forming thin films by physical vapor deposition processes such as sputtering.
