We introduce a deep-learning technique to perform complete mode decomposition for few-mode optical fibers for the first time. Our goal is to learn a fast and accurate mapping from near-field beam patterns to the complete mode coefficients, including both modal amplitudes and phases. We train the convolutional neural network with simulated beam patterns and evaluate the network on both the simulated beam data and the real beam data. In simulated beam data testing, the correlation between the reconstructed and the ideal beam patterns can achieve 0.9993 and 0.995 for 3-mode case and 5-mode case, respectively. While in the real 3-mode beam data testing, the average correlation is 0.9912 and the mode decomposition can be potentially performed at 33 Hz frequency on a graphic processing unit, indicating real-time processing ability. The quantitative evaluations demonstrate the superiority of our deep learning–based approach.read more

TL;DR: This work proposes and demonstrates a two-stage phase control method that can generate OAM beams with different topological charges from a CBC system and indicates that the proposed method combines the characteristics of DL for undesired convergent phase avoidance and the advantages of the optimization algorithm for accuracy improvement, thereby ensuring the high mode purity of the generated OAM beam.

Intensity-only Mode Decomposition on Multimode Fibers using a Densely Connected Convolutional Network
TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that by using a DenseNet with 121 layers it is possible to break through the hurdle of 6 modes and perform mode decomposition on a subset of 10 modes of a 55-mode fiber, which also supports modes unknown to the neural network.
