Flexible lensless endoscope with a conformationally invariant multi-core fiber [PDF]
The lensless endoscope represents the ultimate limit in miniaturization of imaging tools: an image can be transmitted through a (multi-mode or multi-core) fiber by numerical or physical inversion of the fiber's pre-measured transmission matrix.

Random raman fiber laser based on a twin-core fiber with FBGs inscribed by femtosecond radiation [PDF]
Narrowband Raman lasing in a polarization-maintaining two-core fiber (TCF) is demonstrated. Femtosecond point-by-point inscription of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) in individual cores produces a half-open cavity with random distributed feedback.

Crosstalk dynamics in multi-core fibers
Inter-core crosstalk is a potential limitation on the achievable data-rates in optical fiber transmission systems using multi-core fibers. Crosstalk arises from unwanted coupling between cores of a homogenous multi-core fiber and it's average power has been observed to vary over time by 10s of decibels, potentially requiring an additional performance ...

Temperature- and Phase-Independent Lateral Force Sensor based on a Core-Offset Multi-Mode Fiber Interferometer [PDF]
A novel lateral force sensor based on a core-offset multi-mode fiber (MMF) interferometer is reported. High extinction ratio can be obtained by misaligning a fused cross section between the single-mode fiber (SMF) and MMF.

Longitudinal fiber parameter measurements of multi-core fiber using OTDR
A novel technique is proposed for measuring the longitudinal fiber parameters of multi-core fiber (MCF). The mode field diameter (MFD)of a fiber link composed of MCF is successfully estimated with a modified optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR). The measurement accuracy of the MFD distribution is revealed by simulation as a function of the mode ...
