Abstract:
Recent remarkable progress in wave-front shaping has enabled control of light propagation inside linear media to focus and image through scattering objects. In particular, light propagation in multimode fibers comprises complex intermodal interactions and rich spatiotemporal dynamics. Control of physical phenomena in multimode fibers and its applications is in its infancy, opening opportunities to take advantage of complex mode interactions. Various embodiments of the present technology provide wave-front shaping for controlling nonlinear phenomena in multimode fibers. Using a spatial light modulator at the fiber's input and a genetic algorithm optimization, some embodiments control a highly nonlinear stimulated Raman scattering cascade and its interplay with four wave mixing via a flexible implicit control on the superposition of modes that are coupled into the fiber.

Claim (Index 17):
An optical system with dynamic feedback control to enhance spatial, spectral, and/or temporal distributions of a light generated by a light source, the optical system comprising:\n a processor; a spatial light modulator having:\n an input to receive the light generated by the light source; \n a set of independent macro pixels that can be set by a variable mask to generate a modified light by changing one or more properties of the light generated by the light source; \n an output to transmit the modified light outside of the spatial light modulator; \n a medium to transmit the modified light entering a proximal end to a distal end, wherein the medium introduces one or more aberrations or nonlinearities into the modified light; a detection system to evaluate the one or more properties produced by the modified light at the distal end of the medium; and a control system communicably coupled to the spatial light modulator to:\n evaluate, using the processor, the one or more properties produced by the modified light at the distal end of the medium; \n generate a change to the variable mask that enhances the one or more properties of the modified light at the distal end of the medium; and \n provide feedback to the spatial light modulator to update the variable mask with the change identified by the control system.
