Empirical verification of principal mode orthogonality and relative phase calibration in photonic lanterns

Adam K. Taras, Barnaby R. M. Norris, Christopher Betters +5

The paper experimentally characterizes the principal modes of a photonic lantern using digital off‑axis holography, showing they are highly orthogonal and proposing ways to use thi…

Overcoming the low signal-to-noise problem for hybrid mode-selective photonic lantern-based wavefront correction using machine learning

Nathan K Long, Barnaby Norris, Daniel S Dahl +10

Hybrid mode-selective photonic lanterns transform an input complex point-spread function into several single-mode outputs, where a selected core feeds the fundamental mode to a pho…

Wavelength-Dependent Evolution of Full-Field Transfer Matrices in Photonic Lanterns

Caleb Dobias, Miguel Römer, Swati Bhargava +10

A fiber-based photonic lantern can couple an array of single-mode optical fibers to the guided modes of a multimode fiber, with the mapping between the single-mode fibers and guide…
