A fiber-optic interferometric probe based on a two-mode fiber (TMF) is proposed and demonstrated for measuring the thermo-optic coefficients (TOCs) of liquid samples. The proposed probe can be simply fabricated by fusion-splicing a short piece of TMF to a lead single mode fiber (SMF) with small lateral offset, which makes interference between LP(01) and LP(02) modes. The sensing responses of the probe to temperature and surrounding refractive index (SRI) have been experimentally investigated to show the capability of simultaneous measurements; the phase change of the reflection spectrum was related to temperature variation and the intensity change was to SRI variation. The data analysis is made not only in the spectral domain but in the Fourier domain also to effectively quantify the measurements. The TOCs of several liquid samples including water, ethanol, and acetone have been obtained with the proposed method.

This study presents a high-accuracy, all-fiber mode division multiplexing (MDM) reconstructive spectrometer (RS). The MDM was achieved by utilizing a custom-designed 3 × 1 mode-selective photonics lantern to launch distinct spatial modes into the multimode fiber (MMF). This facilitated the information transmission by increasing light scattering processes, thereby encoding the optical spectra more comprehensively into speckle patterns.

The MSPSs are asymmetric two-core few-mode directional couplers composed of a few-mode fiber and a two-mode fiber. We theoretically studied the three conditions required by the MSPSs.

Distributed multi-mode squeezing is critical for enabling CV quantum networks and distributed quantum sensing. To date, multi-mode squeezing measured by homodyne detection has been limited to single-room experiments without coexisting classical signals, i.

Our simulations and experimental results prove that such a filter allows for resonant coupling between orthogonally polarized LP modes of the same spatial structure, as well as between modes of the same polarizations and orthogonal spatial distributions. Furthermore, we demonstrate that such rocking filters can be used to generate pure TE, TM and HE beams or their coherent superposition.

The laser is one of the greatest inventions in history. Because of its ubiquitous applications and profound societal impact, the concept of the laser has been extended to other physical domains including phonon lasers and atom lasers. Quite often, a laser in one physical domain is pumped by energy in another.
