RESUMEN

The published data correspond to images of simulated specklegrams, which result from the calculation of the modal interference that occurs in a multimode optical fiber. These have a characteristic pattern due to the constructive or destructive interference between the light modes depending on their phase differences. The specklegram contains valuable information since the propagation of the modes varies according to the influence of some external disturbances, and therefore, the speckle pattern changes. This dataset contains specklegrams that vary according to the temperature. These data have been obtained by simulation using the finite element method (FEM) through the COMSOL multiphysics platform. In the simulation, the vector wave equation is solved, and the refractive index of the fiber is recalculated due to the temperature change. We simulated a 1490 nm wavelength laser, an optical fiber with a core diameter of 50 µm and cladding diameter of 125 µm. The dataset contains specklegrams covering the range of temperatures from 0°C to 120°C in 0.2°C steps.

RESUMEN

A single-shot method to reduce the speckle noise in the numerical reconstructions of electronically recorded holograms is presented. A recorded hologram with the dimensions N×M is split into S=T×T sub-holograms. The uncorrelated superposition of the individually reconstructed sub-holograms leads to an image with the speckle noise reduced proportionally to the 1/S law. The experimental results are presented to support the proposed methodology.

RESUMEN

To expand and investigate the potential of spectral imaging, we developed a portable multispectral system using light-emitting diodes. This system recovers spectral information from the UV to the near IR over a large area using two different image sensors synchronized with 23 bands of illumination. The system was assessed for spectral reconstruction through simulations and experimental measurements by means of two methods of spectral reconstruction and three different evaluation metrics. The results over a Macbeth ColorChecker chart and other samples, including pigments usually employed in art paintings, are compared and discussed. The portable multispectral system using LEDs constitutes a cost-effective and versatile method for spectral imaging.

RESUMEN

Evidence of the physical existence of the spatial coherence moiré is obtained by confronting numerical results with experimental results of spatially partial interference. Although it was performed for two particular cases, the results reveal a general behavior of the optical fields in any state of spatial coherence. Moreover, the study of the spatial coherence moiré deals with a new type of filtering, named filtering of classes of radiator pairs, which allows changing the power spectrum at the observation plane by modulating the complex degree of spatial coherence, without altering the power distribution at the aperture plane or introducing conventional spatial filters. This new procedure can optimize some technological applications of actual interest, as the beam shaping for instance.
