Abstract :
We recently showed that a disordered polymer Anderson localized optical fiber (p-ALOF) can be used to transport spatially localized beams of light and the output beams were observed to remain in the same spatial transverse position across the fiber as launched. Here, we show for the first time, that images can be transported through the disordered fiber. The resolution of the imaging disordered optical fiber is higher than 28.5 lines/mm.
