研究目的
To propose a novel versatile-designed chip configured in a Ycut Periodically Poled Lithium Niobate (PPLN) photonic wire for spatial mode conversion of data modulated on higher order OAM= ±2ˉh modes, enhancing capacity and security in communication systems.
研究成果
The proposed integrated optical modulator successfully manipulates higher order OAM= ±2ˉh spatial modes with high purity (91%) and low-voltage (<14 V), making it compliant with practical MDM and QKD communication systems. The device's design enables it to operate consecutively after many applicable operators for OAM modes, such as polarization dependent mode-selective wavelength converter.
研究不足
The proposed modulator's efficiency and applicability at wavelengths other than 850 nm, such as the C band, require optimization of the device's size to guide decomposed modes with convenient-valued loss coefficients.
