Researchers have built a microscopic 3D-printed optical device that funnels light from 37 separate multimode semiconductor lasers into a single optical fiber, merging 222 distinct spatial modes; the ...

Researchers have developed a microscopic 3D-printed optical device that can efficiently combine light from dozens of small semiconductor lasers into a single multimode optical fiber with very low loss ...

Schematic of the experimental setup: a spatial light modulator (SLM) generates tailored mode superposition. The MMF scrambles the field. A camera is used to capture the speckle patterns emerging from ...

The rapid development of technologies such as the Internet, mobile communications, and artificial intelligence has dramatically increased the demand for high-capacity communication systems. Among ...

Australian-US team says wavefront-shaping of input light lifts power threshold for SBS scattering by an order of magnitude. A narrowband laser beam shaped by a spatial light modulator excites many ...
