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…

Illuminating the lantern: coherent, spectro-polarimetric characterisation of a multimode converter

Adam K. Taras, Barnaby R. M. Norris, Christopher Betters +4

While photonic lanterns efficiently and uniquely map a set of input modes to single-mode outputs (or vice versa), the optical mode transfer matrix of any particular fabricated devi…

Learning the Lantern: Neural network applications to broadband photonic lantern modelling

David Sweeney, Barnaby R. M. Norris, Peter Tuthill +4

Photonic lanterns allow the decomposition of highly multimodal light into a simplified modal basis such as single-moded and/or few-moded. They are increasingly finding uses in astr…
