Expérimental Description
Reciprocity in optics is often seen as a property responsible for the fact that “if I can see you, you can see me”. In multiple scattering coherent wave transport, i.e., if interferences within the scattering region are taken into account, reciprocity is known to reduce the transmission of the medium with respect to a situation where interferences are absent. This phenomenon is known as localization. It is possible to break reciprocity for instance in the
presence of materials showing some magneto-optical Faraday effect. Breaking of reciprocity gives new insight to the fundamental understanding of coherent wave transport, and therefore, we propose, in this master project, to develop an original setup to measure the influence of reciprocity in coherent wave transport in multimode optical fibers.
