Abstract

The periodic arrangement of core positions in multi-core fiber bundles introduces ‘ghost’ artifacts to endoscopic images obtained through them, whether in wide-field imaging (based on either direct imaging or speckle correlations) or in confocal scanning microscopy using wavefront shaping. Here we introduce partially disordered multi-core bundles as a means to overcome these artifacts. The benefits of their use will be discussed in the context of multiphoton scanning microscopy utilizing a spatial light modulator in the proximal end, and in the more general case of widefield imaging. We also show that both numerically and experimentally that the presence of disorder also enables to apply phase retrieval methods to characterize the phase distortion introduced due to propagation in the bundle without the need of an interferometrically stabilized reference. Thus, in addition to overcoming the challenge of ghost artifacts, disordered multi-core fibers have the potential to overcome another challenge, movement-induced phase distortions, by enabling real-time characterization of this phase distortion in reflection mode only via the proximal end.
