Key points

  • First demonstration of digital phase conjugation for focusing light in a multimode fiber.
  • Achieved a sharp focus with a contrast of 1800 at the fiber tip.
  • Successfully demonstrated digital scanning of the focal point.
  • Addressed effects of illumination and fiber bending on focus quality.

Abstract

We demonstrate for the first time to our knowledge a digital phase conjugation technique for generating a sharp focus point at the end of a multimode optical fiber. A sharp focus with a contrast of 1800 is experimentally obtained at the tip of a 105 μm core multimode fiber. Scanning of the focal point is also demonstrated by digital means. Effects from illumination and fiber bending are addressed.
