- This publication made the cover of Nature Photonics (https://www.nature.com/nphoton/volumes/9/issues/8). For the first time it showed that multimode fibres can be turned into reliable micro-endoscopes that are ultra-thin yet high-resolution. Previous to this work it had been widely accepted that passing light down an optical fibre effectively scrambled, or randomised. This work demonstrated how light-fields can be transported reliably through arbitrarily bent fibres, maintaining the information needed to reform an image, thus opening the possibility of its use as micro-endoscopes. This work contributed to patent US9274335B2 granted on 1 March 2016 (inventors K. Dholakia and T. Cizmar).
