Focal-ratio-degradation (FRD) mitigation in a multimode fiber link using mode-selective photonic lanterns
Aurélien Benoît, Stephanos Yerolatsitis, Kerrianne Harrington +2
We present a new way to mitigate focal-ratio degradation (FRD) when using optical fibers to transport multimode light. Our approach exploits a custom multicore fiber (MCF) with six…

The OpenFlexure Block Stage: Sub-100 nm fibre alignment with a monolithic plastic flexure stage
Qingxin Meng, Kerrianne Harrington, Julian Stirling +1
As 3D printers become more widely available, researchers are able to rapidly produce components that may have previously taken weeks to have machined. The resulting plastic compone…

High fidelity fibre-based physiological sensing deep in tissue
Tushar R. Choudhary, Michael G. Tanner, Alicia Megia-Fernandez +13
Physiological sensing deep in tissue, remains a clinical challenge. Here a flexible miniaturised sensing optrode providing a platform to perform minimally invasive in vivo in situ…
