Image transport using Anderson localized modes in disordered optical fibers

摘要: An optical fiber with a transversely disordered yet longitudinally invariant refractive index profile can propagate beam of light using transverse Anderson localization. A launched into the expands till it reaches its localization radius beyond which propagates without further expansion. In contrast to conventional single-core in propagating only couple and core, be coupled any point at tip fiber. This property originated from localized highly multimodal fibers that used for high quality image transport. We experimentally compare transported images polymer those through multicore imaging fibers, as well single core fibers. The impacts source wavelength difference between sites on is studied numerically. role randomness improving investigated by comparing full vectorial modes periodic
