Optical vortices in fiber (2013, methodology): “Recent demonstrations of theoretically lossless OAM muxing devices, based on waveguides [55] or freespace optics [18], indicate that the required component technology is concurrently developing to enable realistic deployments of scalable networks based on OAM-MDM.”
Communication with spatially modulated light through turbulent air across Vienna (2014, background): “observed mode pattern. By deciphering the OAM information of the light directly via observing its intensity pattern, we did not need to apply any holographic mode transformation. Such transformations [30, 31, 32] rely on axis-dependent decomposition of modes and are extremely sensitive to turbulence”
