Miniature 120-beam coherent combiner with 3D printed optics for multicore fiber based endoscopy

Optics 2022-03-07 v1 Applied Physics

Abstract

We report high efficiency, miniaturized, ultra-fast coherent beam combining with 3D printed micro-optics directly on the tip of a multicore fiber bundle. The highly compact device foot-print (180 micron diameter) facilitates its incorporation into a minimally invasive ultra-thin nonlinear endoscope to perform two-photon imaging
