Angular response of fiber modes and BRAD ratios for different particle sizes. (a) Angular FMF response to different angle orientations in a field of view of ±4° of a mirror in the sample position. The fiber angular transfer function shows good agreement with the modal intensity profiles simulated in Fig. 2. (b) Electron microscopy scans of the different particle sizes. (c) Angular scattering profiles were simulated for different microparticle sizes using Mie theory. The light scattered from the polymer microparticles excites the FMF modes according to the angular response measured for the FMF as shown in (d) and (e) for LP01 and LP11. (f) Results of the BRAD ratio between LP01/LP11 and LP01/LP21 for the different microparticle sizes measured with BRAD-OCT and the corresponding theoretical results displayed in red.
