Manipulation and Shaping of Light in the Far-Field using Advanced Fresnel Fibres

这个项目将集中于进一步发展和理解菲涅耳光纤的最新发明，其目的是克服光纤末端的衍射。更复杂的设计和组合将允许对离开光纤的光场进行任意成形以用于许多应用。要实现的这种现象的物理基础是在空气-材料纤维（例如空气-二氧化硅光子晶体纤维）中可能的相干散射的有效程度。同时，将开发先进的表征技术。

This project will focus on developing and understanding further the recent invention of the Fresnel fibre, which is designed to overcome diffraction from the end of an optical fibre. More sophisticated designs and combinations will allow arbitrary shaping of the optical field exiting an optical fibre for numerous applications. The physical basis for such phenomena to be realised is the efficient degree of coherent scattering possible in air-material fibre such as air-silica photonic crystal fibres. In conjunction advanced characterisation techniques will be developed.
