Control of light in space and time in multimode optical fibres

该项目旨在创造设备来测量和操控光的空间和时间属性。控制或测量光的空间和/或时间特性的能力是许多应用的基本特征，包括生物医学成像、天文学、电信、高功率激光和量子计算。该项目将开发五个原型系统，以控制光的时空特性，这是以前不可能实现的。这将影响无法充分控制光的空间和/或时间属性的基本和应用应用。例如，深入到人体皮肤或大脑等不透明物体的成像，用于材料加工和制造的高功率激光，光学电信和量子计算。

This project aims to create devices to measure and manipulate the spatial and temporal properties of light. The ability to control or measure the spatial and/or temporal properties of light is a fundamental feature of many applications, including biomedical imaging, astronomy, telecommunications, high-power lasers and quantum computing. This project will develop five prototype systems to control the spatiotemporal properties of light in ways that were previously not possible. This would affect fundamental and applied applications where the inability to sufficiently control light’s spatial and/or temporal properties is an impediment. Examples include imaging deep into ‘opaque’ objects such as human skin or brain, high-power lasers for material processing and manufacturing, optical telecommunications and quantum computation.
