Abstract

Speckle-free imaging is attractive in laser-illuminated imaging systems. The evolutionary process of supercontinuum decoherence in extra-large mode area step-index multimode fiber is analyzed to provide high-quality broadband light source for speckle-free imaging. It is found that spectral bandwidth, number of spatial transverse modes, and decoherence among different modes all greatly contribute to speckle reduction. The combination of supercontinuum and extra-large mode area step-index multimode fiber can considerably increase the efficiency of decoherence process for speckle-free imaging. This work may enrich the research of speckle-free imaging and also provide guidance on speckle-free imaging using fiber-optics based light source.
