Investigation of Annular Multi-mode Fibers for Computing
Semester project, Sept. 2021 – Feb. 2022.
OAM fiber profile.
The objective of this project is to build an optical platform in order to couple an orbital angular momentum (OAM) beam into an OAM fiber (Gen5A3) provided by Boston University. This project is mainly motivated by the work of Uğur Teğin et al., who used fibers to process optical information at high speed rather than relying on heavy neuromorphic computing.
