Impact of modulation instability on distributed optical fiber sensors

Mohammad Mehdi Alem Karladani

Modulation instability (MI) as the main limit to the sensing distance of distributed fiber sensors is thoroughly investigated in this thesis in order to obtain a model for predicting its characteristics and alleviating its effects. Starting from Maxwell's ...

Dynamic control of light transmission through multimode fibers

Ioannis Papadopoulos

In the present thesis we demonstrate how under the appropriate dynamic control of light propagation, multimode fibers can be transformed into deterministic optical elements that along with their ultrathin size, large number of degrees of freedom and high N ...
