Experimental utilization of repeated spatial-mode shifting for achieving discrete delays in a free-space
Abstract:
We demonstrate an optical recirculating delay loop by shifting the spatial mode order of orbital-angular-momentum (OAM) beams in the free-space. The desired delay can be selected at the loop output by exploiting the orthogonality of the OAM modes. When sending a 20-Gbaud quadrature-phase-shift-keyed (QPSK) signal through the delay system, three recirculations are demonstrated, each with an additional delay of 2.2 ns. Around 0.5 and 2 dB system penalties are measured for the second and third recirculations, respectively. We also simulate the performance of our approach under different scenarios.

What is a Mode?
There can be more than one mode in a data set if multiple values have the same highest frequency. For instance, suppose that the Statistics exam scores of 20 students are: 50; 53; 59; 59; 63; 63; 72; 72; 72; 72; 72; 76; 78; 81; 83; 84; 84; 84; 90; 93. Here, the mode is 72, as it occurs most frequently, five times.
A data set with two modes is called bimodal. For example,...
