Abstract

An exact modal decomposition method plays an important role in revealing the modal characteristics of a few-mode fiber, and it is widely used in various applications ranging from imaging to telecommunications. Here, ptychography technology is successfully used to achieve modal decomposition of a few-mode fiber. In our method, the complex amplitude information of the test fiber can be recovered by ptychography, and then the amplitude weight of each eigenmode and the relative phase between different eigenmodes can be easily calculated by modal orthogonal projection operations. In addition, we also propose a simple and effective method to realize coordinate alignment. Numerical simulations and optical experiments validate the reliability and feasibility of the approach.
