Investigation of Annular Multi-mode Fibers for Computing

Semester project from Sept. 2021 - Feb. 2022. (Finished)

OAM fiber profile.

The objective of this project is to build an optical platform in order to couple the orbital angular momentum (OAM) beam to an OAM fiber (Gen5A3) provided by Boston University. This project is mainly motivated by the work of Ugur Tegin, etc, they actually used fibers to process optical information with high speed rather than using the heavily neuromorphic computing.
