Experimental characterization of the speckle pattern at the output of a multimode optical fiber

Abstract: Speckle patterns produced by coherent waves interfering with each other are undesirable in many imaging applications (for example, in laser projection systems) but on the other hand, they contain useful information that can be exploited (for example, for blood flow analysis or reconstruction of the object that generates the speckle). It is therefore important to understand how speckle can be enhanced or reduced by tailoring the coherence of laser light. Using a conventional semiconductor laser and a multimode … Show more

“…However, the coherence of BALs is heavily dependent on the pump current. On the one hand, more longitudinal and lateral modes can attain the threshold of lasing under a large pump current [41,42]. On the other hand, filamentation becomes severe with the increase in pump current, and more filaments are formed with a larger pump current [43].…”

“…Studying the turn-on of a free-running laser diode (without optical feedback or current modulation), some of us have recently shown 22 that, as the laser pump current increases, when coherence emerges (i.e., at the lasing threshold), C grows abruptly, from very low values below the threshold (where the emission is dominated by spontaneous emission) to high values above the threshold (where the emission is dominated by stimulated emission) and reaches a plateau at a high C value (if the emission is fully coherent, C = 1).…”
