OAM light demultiplexing from an intensity profile using orthogonality restoration of pair modes
Abstract:
Orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light is a promising degree of freedom for next-generation communication. By exploiting the orthogonality of OAM modes, multi-channel division enables a linear increase in communication performance proportional to the number of available modes. However, the multiplexing and demultiplexing of each superposition state remain essential yet complex processes. Demultiplexing has been established through spatial-domain methods that require additional optical elements such as gratings and apertures, which can decrease communication efficiency and accuracy under various conditions. In this paper, we propose a demultiplexing method under a single intensity profile by orthogonality restoration of OAM pair states. This method can be applied directly to an OAM multichannel communication system without additional receiver-side optical structure. We present simulation results of our method under various conditions.
