Zusammenfassung:In at least one aspect, a device for Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) based optical communication includes a first spatial light modulator configured to down-convert a first plurality of higher-order OAM modes from a communication signal to a second plurality of higher-order OAM modes and a first Gaussian mode, a second spatial light modulator configured to drop the first Gaussian mode and add a second Gaussian mode to the second plurality of higher-order OAM modes, and a third spatial light modulator configured to up-convert the second plurality of higher-order OAM modes and the second Gaussian mode to a third plurality of higher-order OAM modes for further communications.
