Speckle-based spectrometer

Abstract: A novel spectrometer concept is analyzed and experimentally verified. The method relies on probing the speckle displacement due to a change in the incident wavelength. A rough surface is illuminated at an oblique angle, and the peak position of the covariance between the speckle patterns observed in the far field with the two wavelengths reveals the wavelength change. A spectral resolution of 100 Mhz is argued to be achievable.

“…The resultant wavemeter is demonstrated over a wide spectral operating range of approximately 600 nm in the visible and near-infrared spectrum, with wavelength resolution at the sub-femtometre level (0.3 fm measured at a centre wavelength of 780 nm). This resolution is up to two orders of magnitude better than all previous spectrometers using complex media [16,12,23]. Through the subsequent use of appropriate electronic feedback, we realize an alternative approach for laser frequency stabilization.…”

“…The multispectral characteristics of speckle fields have been used successfully in a range of studies to realize speckle spectrometers [10,11,12,13,14,15]. By exploiting wavelengthdependent speckle patterns from a multimode fiber, a spectral resolution of picometers in the near-infrared and nanometers in the visible region has been demonstrated [16,17].…”

“…However, in many cases, these are limited to narrow spectral ranges with a restricted spectral resolution. In recent years, a new category of spectrometers has been proposed, which exploits the natural properties of complex materials [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16]. The use of random media in controlling information has followed our understanding that disorder provides new opportunities for highly multi-mode data processing [17,18,19,20,21,22].…”
