Demonstration of coherent imaging through a phased array of single-mode optical fibers

Opt Lett. 2013 Jul 15;38(14):2452-4. doi: 10.1364/OL.38.002452.

Abstract

We demonstrate coherent imaging through a phased array of single-mode optical fibers. Specifically, we show that two laboratory point sources located within the individual-fiber single-mode acceptance angle can be resolved. Such techniques could eventually enable direct imaging with arrays of small collecting telescopes.
