Modal response sensitivity to polarization across photonic lantern architectures
Rodrigo Itzamná Becerra-Deana, Joseph Lamarre, Raphaël Maltais-Tariant +4
This paper examines the polarization-dependent output of various types of 3-mode photonic lanterns fabricated using double-clad fibers. We explore the sensitivity of the modal resp…
Simultaneous plane illumination and detection in confocal microscopy using a mode-selective photonic lantern
Rodrigo Itzamná Becerra-Deana, Simon Desrochers, Raphaël Maltais-Tariant +5
Confocal microscopy is the cornerstone of cellular biology and biomedical research due to its non-destructive imaging, compatibility with live cells, sensitivity, optical sectionin…
A photon density wavefunction
Stéphane Virally
Maxwell's equations in the vacuum can be formally cast in the form of Schrödinger's equation. Unfortunately, the vector to which this equation directly applies is not a wavefuncti…
Three-Mode Photonic Lanterns: Comprehensive Analysis from Theory to Experiments
Rodrigo Itzamná Becerra-Deana, Raphael Maltais-Tariant, Guillaume Ramadier +4
The design space for photonic lanterns is large and complex, making it challenging to identify optimal parameters to achieve specific performances, such as coupling, bandwidth, and…
Mode-Selective Photonic Lanterns with Double-Clad Fibers
Rodrigo Itzamná Becerra-Deana, Martin Poinsinet de Sivry-Houle, Stéphane Virally +2
We present the design, fabrication, and characterization of mode-selective photonic lanterns using double-clad fibers. Here, we exploited several custom-pulled double-clad fibers t…
