Recent advances in ring-core fiber for orbital-angular-momentum-based mode-division multiplexing
Orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes constitute a complete basis set for the spatial distribution of electromagnetic fields. By exploiting the orthogonality of OAM modes, optical fiber communication systems can establish independent transmission channels, thereby substantially expanding system capacity. Furthermore, the combination of OAM mode-division multiplexing (MDM) with other multiplexing techniques, such as wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM), offers the potential to reduce the complexity of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processing and further enhance fiber-based communication capacity. In this paper, we review the advantages of OAM mode transmission in ring-core fibers, discuss the design strategies that enable the support of multiple OAM modes while maintaining low crosstalk, and introduce OAM-based MDM communication systems aimed at boosting overall transmission capacity.
期刊介绍:
Optics Communications invites original and timely contributions containing new results in various fields of optics and photonics. The journal considers theoretical and experimental research in areas ranging from the fundamental properties of light to technological applications. Topics covered include classical and quantum optics, optical physics and light-matter interactions, lasers, imaging, guided-wave optics and optical information processing. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers concentrating on mathematical and computational issues, with limited connection to optics, are not suitable for publication in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only with engineering applications or issues of materials science fall outside the journal scope.
