Abstract

Transmission matrix measurements relating the electric field at the ends of standard step-index and graded-index multimode fibers promise to enable next generation miniaturized endoscopes. Relatively few measurements of specialty fibers and components have been demonstrated. Here, we present transmission matrix measurements and distal control through a variety of specialty fibers, including fibers for harsh environments, a polarization maintaining fiber, coreless fibers, a rectangular core fiber, multicore fibers, and a pump signal combiner. The calibration of these fibers and structures enables their dual-use for imaging and their original design application and allows control of the spatial profile of the light used in sensing, power delivery, and amplification.
