Experimental demonstration of single‐pixel imaging using a multi‐core fibre

Abstract

Abstract This letter reports a proof‐of‐concept experiment conducted on a novel application of the multi‐core fibre (MCF), where image reconstruction is based on a single‐pixel imaging (SPI) technique and the diffraction pattern emitted from an MCF. The technique is intended to reduce the size of the SPI system, the applications of which can now be extended with the help of this study.
