Spectral Speckle Customization

Nicholas Bender, Henry Haig, Demetrios N. Christodoulides +1

Speckle patterns are used in a broad range of applications including microscopy, imaging, and light-matter interactions. Tailoring speckles' statistics can dramatically enhance the…

Creating high-contrast patterns in multiple-scattering media via wavefront shaping

Liam Shaughnessy, Rohin E. McIntosh, Arthur Goetschy +5

Wavefront shaping allows focusing light through or inside strongly scattering media, but the background intensity also increases due to long-range correlations, reducing the target…

Highly-Multimode Solitons in Step-Index Optical Fiber

Yuhang Wu, Nicholas Bender, Demetrios N. Christodoulides +1

We report the generation of multimode solitons in step-index fiber. The solitons are superpositions of 5-10 temporally-aligned transverse modes, they exhibit speckled beam profiles…

Roadmap on structured waves

K. Y. Bliokh, E. Karimi, M. J. Padgett +47

Structured waves are ubiquitous for all areas of wave physics, both classical and quantum, where the wavefields are inhomogeneous and cannot be approximated by a single plane wave.…

Tailoring 3D Speckle Statistics

SeungYun Han, Nicholas Bender, Hui Cao

We experimentally generate three-dimensional speckles with customized intensity statistics. By modulating the phase front of a laser beam, far-field speckle patterns maintain the d…

Sum rules for energy deposition eigenchannels in scattering systems

Alexey Yamilov, Nicholas Bender, Hui Cao

In a random-scattering system, the deposition matrix maps the incident wavefront to the internal field distribution across a target volume. The corresponding eigenchannels have bee…
