Abstract
Combination of the classical effect of light self-focusing and recently emerged multi-core fiber technology offers new opportunities for the spatio-temporal control and manipulation of high-power light radiation. Here we apply genetic algorithm to design a system enabling self-focusing of light in various fiber cores on demand. The proposed concept is general and can be applied and adapted to any multi-core fiber or 2D array of coupled waveguides paving a way for numerous applications.
