title: Tomographic imaging of photonic crystal fibers.
abstract: The tomographic reconstruction of the refractive index distribution in a large-mode-area photonic fiber is presented. The results of the diffraction tomographic algorithm and classical filtered backprojection method are compared. Additionally, the application of the synthetic aperture technique to tomographic interferometry, as a tool for resolution enhancement, is presented and discussed.
