All-optical image transmission through a multimode dielectric waveguide

All-optical image transmission through a multimode dielectric waveguide

We show that images can be transmitted directly through optical waveguides by matching image pixels to waveguide modes. We describe how this can be achieved using a dielectric slab waveguide and present initial experimental results showing successful image transmission.
