Abstract
Optical guidance of coherent light in multimode fibers involves the generation of a speckle pattern at the fiber output due to the interference of the modes traveling in the fiber. Since the speckle pattern is sensitive to external perturbations (temperature, stress) as well as polarization and wavelength changes of the guided light, speckle noise is introduced limiting the quality and precision of fiber-coupled devices employed in various spectroscopic and imaging applications such as optical coherence tomography or differential absorption lidar [1].
