Abstract
Described herein is an apparatus comprising a base, one or more stands disposed on the base, wherein the stands comprise one or more movement mechanisms configured to move the stands; and one or more translating units disposed on the one or more stands, wherein the one or more translating units comprise a fiber holder. In some embodiments, the one or more translating units are configured to receive and shape a fiber to control spatial degrees of freedom and temporal degrees of freedom of light propagating through the fiber. In some embodiments, each of the one or more translating units can be moved along an x-axis, a y-axis, or a z-axis to manipulate the fiber.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a base;
- one or more stands disposed on the base, wherein the stands comprise one or more movement mechanisms configured to move the stands;
- and
- one or more translating units disposed on the one or more stands, wherein the one or more translating units comprise a fiber holder,
- wherein the one or more translating units are configured to receive and shape a fiber to control spatial degrees of freedom and temporal degrees of freedom of light propagating through the fiber.
A method of manipulating a fiber, comprising:
- providing a base;
- providing one or more stands disposed on the base, wherein the stands comprise one or more movement mechanisms configured to move the stands;
- and
- providing one or more translating units disposed on the one or more stands, wherein the one or more translating units comprise a fiber holder,
- wherein the one or more translating units are configured to receive and shape a fiber to control spatial degrees of freedom and temporal degrees of freedom of light propagating through the fiber.
