Author:Gailele, Lucas M; Dudley, Angela L; Forbes, ADate:Sep 2018Current communication systems make use of polarization and wavelength multiplexing to increase transmission rates. To offer a further improvement, Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) modes (or Laguerre-Gaussian modes) provide an infinite dimensional ...Read more
Author:Bell, Teboho; Ngcobo, Sandile; Haddadi, S; Ait-Ameur, K; Forbes, ADate:Jul 2015Using the digital laser one can generate various types of modes, like, Laguerre-Gaussian modes. The digital laser was forced to generate high-order radial Laguerre-Gaussian modes, LGp , with zero azimuthal order, by loading a digital hologram ...Read more
Author:Bell, Teboho; Forbes, A; Ngcobo, SandileDate:Oct 2015The solid state digital laser was used in generation of Laguerre-Gaussian modes, LGpl, of different orders. This work demonstrates that we can generate high-order Laguerre-Gaussian modes with high purity using a digital laser.Read more
Author:Roux, FS; Zhang, YDate:Sep 2014Experimental setups for the optical implementation of projective measurements in the Laguerre-Gaussian basis are discussed. Special attention is given to the case where the measurements are made with the aid of single-mode fibers that are ...Read more
Author:Mredlana, Prince; Naidoo, Darryl; Mafusire, C; Kruger, T; Dudley, Angela L; Forbes, ADate:Jul 2016Optical field characterisation often requires various isolated experiments to obtain characterisation parameters, we investigate a novel approach to characterise an optical field employing a Wigner distribution function with a modal decomposition ...Read more
