An electro-optical system includes an array including a plurality of
optical fibers and a plurality of electrodes, and an insulator. The
optical fibers are configured to transmit light, the optical fibers being
mechanically coupled at distal ends in a distal arrangement and
mechanically coupled at proximal ends in a proximal arrangement. The
plurality of electrodes are substantially coaxially disposed with at
least portions of corresponding optical fibers, the electrodes being
electrically conductive, with the electrodes and optical fibers being
disposed in pairs, thereby being pair components, with one of the pair
components of each pair being disposed about a radial periphery of the
other pair component. The insulator is disposed between the plurality of
electrodes and configured to inhibit transfer of electrical energy
between the plurality of electrodes.
