Investigation of speckle suppression beyond human eye sensitivity by using a passive multimode fiber and a multimode fiber bundle.

A method of speckle suppression without any active device is expected for pico-projectors. The effectiveness of the passive method of speckle reduction using a single multimode fiber and a multimode fiber bundle was actually measured and theoretically analyzed. The dependences of the speckle contrast and speckle suppression coefficient on the parameters of multimode fiber and projection systems were investigated.
