Abstract

This presentation will describe PyMieSim, a Python package developed to estimate the collection efficiency of incoherent and coherent imaging techniques with respect to various scatterer geometries. In particular, it will focus on few-mode optical coherence tomography (FM-OCT), in which a photonic lantern separates projections of a backscattered wavefront onto the different linearly polarized (LP) modes of a few-mode fiber. Each mode is converted by the lantern into the fundamental mode of a single-mode fiber to produce a distinct OCT image. PyMieSim was used to predict how different scatterer geometries would affect the OCT images acquired from the different LP modes collected by the lantern, thus paving the way for sub-resolution OCT.
