Abstract
We propose and experimentally demonstrate analog signal transmission in an orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing system. By employing two spatial light modulators (SLMs), each loaded with a complex phase pattern generating 4 OAM beams, an 8 OAM multiplexing system is established for analog signal transmissions. The crosstalk between each OAM channel is measured to assess the performance of the OAM multiplexing system. Using 3-GHz analog signals over 8 OAM beams, we evaluate the performance of OAM multiplexing analog signal transmissions. The spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) of the second-order-harmonic distortion (SHD) and the third-order-harmonic distortion (THD) are measured and characterized for each OAM channel.
