New arXiv paper: "Harnessing the frequency eigenchannels of ultrafast time-varying media", led by Ian Hooper and Simon Horsley at Uni. of Exeter. Translating concepts from spatial "wavefront shaping" to temporal "waveform shaping" in dynamic media featuring "spectral scattering"!

Happy to share our work published in Nature Photonics: "Threading light through dynamic complex media". We show how to pilot beams of light via stable channels within moving scattering media. Special thanks to Chai, Christina & John from the Structured Light Group @UniofExeter

New pre-print: arxiv.org/abs/2501.14129 'Self-configuring high-speed multi-plane light conversion'. Made possible by lead author @carl00s01, who evidently prefers to go and make a cup of tea rather than align his MPLC... Thanks also to Unė Būtaitė at Exeter & @joelacarpenter.

New preprint: we show wavefront shaping with a new kind of MEMS megapixel spatial light modulator that has fast pistoning micro-mirrors: arxiv.org/abs/2409.01289 (includes code to run it fast). Great effort from project lead José @carl00s01, also with @gsdgordon @joelacarpenter.

The Structured Light Lab's first ever cover feature! Thanks to our newest recruit José @carl00s01 for making this image! He is also working on the next generation of this experiment...
22 Jan 2024
Volume 11 Issue 1 of #OPG_Optica is now live: ow.ly/Qg9r50QsN4C
The cover illustrates an all-optical method to unscramble light after propagating through a multimode fiber. See Kupianskyi et al. for details: ow.ly/m5RL50QsN4B

Our paper "All-optically untangling light propagation through multimode fibers" is out today in Optica. We built an optical system capable of reforming 'any' image sent through the corresponding fibre. Thanks to Hlib Kupianskyi for realising it in the lab! doi.org/10.1364/OPTICA.50214…
