We present a novel differential mode delay (DMD) measurement method for a multimode optical fiber (MMF) based on Fourier-domain lowcoherence interferometry (fLCI) for the first time. An optical spectrum analyzer and a mode scrambler are used to obtain the intermodal interference signal in spectral domain after light passes an MMF. The MMF is used as a common path interferometer by itself without using any reference arm in an interferometer. Instead of using an offset launching technique, we present an effective method to obtain all available intermodal interference signals at a single shot by using a mode scrambler. The measured results using the proposed method are compared with those obtained using a conventional time-domain DMD measurement method.

Design of a Nested Hollow-Core Anti-Resonant Fiber Sensor for Simultaneous Measurement of Temperature and Strain.

Sensors (Basel)

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Specialty Fiber Optics and Optical Access Networks, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200444, China.

A highly sensitive sensor, which can detect the temperature and strain simultaneously, is proposed using a hollow-core anti-resonant fiber with composite nested tubes. The sensing fiber contains two kinds of nested tubes, and two different sensing mechanisms, the resonance coupling effect and the intermodal interference, are realized in the same section of a hollow-core anti-resonant fiber fully filled with ethanol. Five conjoined nested anti-resonant tubes are introduced to suppress the confinement loss of the higher-order mode LP.

Transverse mode switchable ultrashort optical pulses with narrow bandwidths can create potential for exploring what we believe are new physical effects. We demonstrate the generation of transverse mode switchable ultrashort pulses with narrow bandwidths in an all-fiber mode-locked laser by exploring a mode-selective photonic lantern (MSPL). The laser cavity serves not only as a ring resonator but also as an intrinsic spectral filter.

Our brain constantly processes multisensory inputs to make decisions and guide behaviors, but how goal-relevant processes are influenced by irrelevant information is unclear. Here, we investigated the effects of intermodal and intramodal task-irrelevant information on visual and auditory categorical decision-making. In both visual and auditory tasks, we manipulated the modality of irrelevant inputs (visual vs.
