All-optical image transmission through a dynamically perturbed multimode fiber and a ring-core fiber using...

In this study, we present an all-optical image reconstruction technique leveraging a diffractive deep neural network (D2NN) within a ring-core fiber (RCF) architecture. Orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes are employed to facilitate imaging transmission. We experimentally validate the efficacy of our approach for complex field diffractive image reconstruction through a multimode fiber (MMF) and RCF at a 1550 nm operating wavelength. The experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method in mitigating RCF scattering-to-restoration transformation issues, significantly outperforming traditional MMF-based imaging correction techniques.
