In this study, a high-sensitivity intensity-interrogated fiber sensor integrated with ferrofluids is proposed for the measurement of a weak magnetic field (MF) with resolved temperature cross-sensitivity. The MF sensor is fabricated simply by an offset tapering single-mode fiber concatenated with a multimode fiber (MMF), which is then encapsulated into a capillary tube filled with ferrofluids. In the presence of MMF, stronger mode coupling could be achieved over the S-tapered fiber region. Its spectral response to variations in the applied MF intensity and ambient temperature have been investigated in detail. The proposed sensor shows a high MF sensitivity up to -0.1130/ for the measurement range of 40 to 120 Oe, which, to our best knowledge, is higher than other previously reported MF sensors. And moreover, the measurement errors caused by temperature cross-sensitivity have been corrected by using a sensing matrix for the temperature range of 25°C to 35°C. Our proposed MF sensor possesses the advantages of high sensitivity, low cost, and applicability for applications in weak MF measurements.

Significance: Laparoscopic surgery presents challenges in localizing oncological margins due to poor contrast between healthy and malignant tissues. Optical properties can uniquely identify various tissue types and disease states with high sensitivity and specificity, making it a promising tool for surgical guidance. Although spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) effectively measures quantitative optical properties, its deployment in laparoscopy is challenging due to the constrained imaging environment.

We propose and validate a novel optical semantic transmission scheme using multimode fiber (MMF). By leveraging the frequency sensitivity of intermodal dispersion in MMFs, we achieve high-dimensional semantic encoding and decoding in the frequency domain. Our system maps symbols to 128 distinct frequencies spaced at 600 kHz intervals, demonstrating a seven-fold increase in capacity compared to conventional communication encoding.

In fiber-based confocal microscopy, using two separate fibers for illumination and collection enables the use of a few-mode fiber to achieve an effect similar to opening the pinhole in a conventional confocal microscope. In some Fourier-domain applications, however, or when a spectral measurement is involved, the coherent light detection would lead to noticeable spectral modulation artifacts that result from differential mode delay, an effect caused by the multimode propagation in the collection fiber. After eliminating these artifacts by using mode-dependent polarization control, we demonstrate effective spectrally encoded imaging with improved signal efficiency and lower speckle noise, and only a minor, negligible reduction in lateral and axial resolutions.

A novel, to the best of our knowledge, approach for the modal decomposition of a fiber laser beam is demonstrated using a spatial mode multiplexer. Since the modal decomposition is carried out optically, this approach is able to obtain the modal content at speeds up to the GHz level. In order to demonstrate such performance, we have applied this approach to the modal analysis of a -switched pulse generated in a multimode fiber with alternating intra-pulse mode content.
