Journal ArticleDOI
Terabit free-space data transmission employing orbital angular momentum multiplexing
Jian Wang,Jian Wang,Jeng-Yuan Yang,Irfan Fazal,Nisar Ahmed,Yan Yan,Hao Huang,Yongxiong Ren,Yang Yue,S. Dolinar,Moshe Tur,Alan E. Willner +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the ability to multiplex and transfer data between twisted beams of light with different amounts of orbital angular momentum, which provides new opportunities for increasing the data capacity of free-space optical communications links.
Journal ArticleDOI
Terabit-Scale Orbital Angular Momentum Mode Division Multiplexing in Fibers
Nenad Bozinovic,Yang Yue,Yongxiong Ren,Moshe Tur,Poul Kristensen,Hao Huang,Alan E. Willner,Siddharth Ramachandran +7 more
TL;DR: The viability of using the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light to create orthogonal, spatially distinct streams of data-transmitting channels that are multiplexed in a single fiber is demonstrated and suggest that OAM could provide an additional degree of freedom for data multiplexing in future fiber networks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical communications using orbital angular momentum beams
Alan E. Willner,Hao Huang,Yan Yan,Yongxiong Ren,Nisar Ahmed,Guodong Xie,Changjing Bao,Long Li,Yinwen Cao,Zhe Zhao,Jian Wang,Martin P. J. Lavery,Moshe Tur,Siddharth Ramachandran,Andreas F. Molisch,Nima Ashrafi,Solyman Ashrafi +16 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review recent progress in OAM beam generation/detection, multiplexing/demultiplexing, and its potential applications in different scenarios including free-space optical communications, fiber-optic communications, and RF communications.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-capacity millimetre-wave communications with orbital angular momentum multiplexing
Yan Yan,Guodong Xie,Martin P. J. Lavery,Hao Huang,Nisar Ahmed,Changjing Bao,Yongxiong Ren,Yinwen Cao,Long Li,Zhe Zhao,Andreas F. Molisch,Moshe Tur,Miles J. Padgett,Alan E. Willner +13 more
TL;DR: This work demonstrates a 32-Gbit’s−1 millimetre-wave link over 2.5 metres with a spectral efficiency of ~16 bit s− 1 Hz−1 using four independent orbital–angular momentum beams on each of two polarizations, and shows an 8-Gbits−1 link containing two orbital angular momentum beams with crosstalk less than −12.5 dB.
