Hi forum members,
Could you please shed some light for me on the measurement of TM, for the case of a multimode fibre?
Can it be done that way? Here the paper they used the random pattern but they just say that 900 patterns is enough.

My question is: After obtaining the TM, should I apply SVD on such TM and try to reduce it to a leaner version (less noisy) of the TM before testing the stuffs such as focusing or imaging?
Thank you very much for your help.
Hi all,
I am new to SLM so got a Santec SLM-100 with dual windows (visible and 1550 nm). A graduate student has used the visible windows for a while and it seems to work ok. I am now trying to use this for some experiment in the 1550 nm region and want to test to make sure that the SLM is working fine for that wavelength? Atm I made up a simple line grating with a pitch of 60 um (6 pixel) and diffract the zero-order to the 1st order when the grating is On. I then changed the level of phase modulation at all lines (increase the value in the csv file) and observe increasing power at the 1st spot.
My expectation is that the power would gradually increase to a peak at Pi (something between 0 and 1024 values of the pixel), then gradually reduce to near zero when the phase change reaches 2pi (1024). However I have power fluctuating and increasing all the way to nearly 2Pi (1000 value). What did I do wrong here?
Your comments are highly appreciated.
