Optimal SMF packing in photonic lanterns: comparing theoretical topology to practical packing arrangements
John J. Davenport, Momen Diab, Kalaga Madhav +1
Photonic lanterns rely on a close packed arrangement of single mode fibers, which are tapered and fused into one multi-mode core. Topologically optimal circle packing arrangements…

Simulations of mode-selective photonic lanterns for efficient coupling of starlight into the single-mode regime
Momen Diab, Aashana Tripathi, John Davenport +3
In ground-based astronomy, starlight distorted by the atmosphere couples poorly into single-mode waveguides but a correction by adaptive optics, even if only partial, can boost cou…
