Abstract
A multiplexing method for orbital angular momentum (OAM) beams was proposed. The aperture size as a new information carrier was provided, and it could be modulated by the external variable aperture. The field of the beams propagating through turbulence was derived and discretized with Gauss-Legendre quadrature formulas. Based on this, the demultiplexing method was improved, and the beam OAM states, amplitude, Gaussian spot radius and aperture radius were decoded. Moreover, the influence of turbulence on the multiplexing parameters was also analyzed, and the decoding precision of the aperture radius was higher than that of other parameters. The aperture radius was recommended as an extra carrier for multiplexing communication. This study provides a simple method to modulate the information carried by OAM beams, and it has promising applications in large capacity laser communication.
期刊介绍：
Sensors (ISSN 1424-8220) provides an advanced forum for the science and technology of sensors and biosensors. It publishes reviews (including comprehensive reviews on the complete sensors products), regular research papers and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
