Flying particle sensors in hollow-core photonic crystal fibre

DS Bykov, OA Schmidt, TG Euser, PSJ Russell - Nature Photonics, 2015 - nature.com
Optical fibre sensors make use of diverse physical effects to measure parameters such as
strain, temperature and electric field. Here we introduce a new class of reconfigurable fibre …

Wavefront reconstruction by modal decomposition

C Schulze, D Naidoo, D Flamm, OA Schmidt… - Optics express, 2012 - opg.optica.org
We propose a new method to determine the wavefront of a laser beam based on modal
