All-fibre pseudo-slit reformatters

Opt Express. 2017 Aug 7;25(16):18713-18721. doi: 10.1364/OE.25.018713.

Abstract

We report two different types of all-fibre pseudo-slit reformatters made either by tapering bundles of single-mode fibres or by postprocessing a photonic crystal fibre. These devices convert the modes of a multimode core to the modes of a linear pseudo-slit output structure, achieving a diffraction limited pattern in one direction.
