Reconfigurable orbital angular momentum and polarization manipulation of 100 Gbit/s QPSK data channels
Abstract:
We demonstrate reconfigurable orbital angular momentum (OAM) and polarization manipulation of OAM- and polarization-multiplexed 100 Gbit/s quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) data channels. Each data channel's OAM value and its polarization state can be arbitrarily changed by taking advantage of the unique wavefront profile of OAM beams using liquid crystal on silicon-based spatial light modulators. The manipulation operation introduces a power penalty of <1 dB for 100 Gbit/s QPSK signals.

Energy Stored In A Coaxial Cable
In the simplest form, a coaxial cable can be represented by two long hollow concentric cylinders in which the current flows in opposite directions. The magnetic field inside and outside the coaxial cable is determined by using Ampère's law. The magnetic field...
