Abstract

Control of the spatial and temporal properties of light propagating in disordered media have been demonstrated over the last decade using spatial light modulators. Most of the previous studies demonstrated spatial focusing to the speckle grain size, and manipulation of the temporal properties of the achieved focus. In this work, we demonstrate temporal control of the total impulse response integrated over all the spatial and polarization modes propagating through a multimode fiber. We notably demonstrate a global enhancement of light intensity at a chosen arrival time, as well as attenuating light intensity at an arbitrary delay. We also demonstrate the full polarization control of such engineered states and a multiple control at different delay times, which opens interesting perspectives for non-linear imaging through complex systems and high power fiber lasers.
