Spatial Mode Division Multiplexing of Free-Space Optical Communications Using a Pair of Multiplane Light Converters and a Micromirror Array for Turbulence Emulation

Multi-plane light converters (MPLC) are a means of deconstructing a wavefront into constituent modes that are focused at specific spatial locations, and the reverse—that specific inputs result in controlled modal output. We have used a pair of MPLCs with 21 Hermite–Gaussian modes to represent a free...
