Abstract

We demonstrate the first MDM scheme using OAM states over 1.1-km of fiber. This is enabled by a SLM-based Mux/Demux setup, and a fiber designed to propagate multiple OAM modes over km lengths. We confirm low crosstalk (<-14.8dB) and multipath interference (<-19.7dB) of this scheme by transmitting 400Gb/s QPSK data at 1550nm without MIMO processing.
