Author:Roux, FS; Wellens, T; Shatokhin, VDate:Jun 2015Recently, an infinitesimal propagation equation was derived for the evolution of orbital angular momentum entangled photonic quantum states through turbulence. The authors will discuss its derivation and application within both classical and ...Read more
Author:Roux, FS; Wellens, T; Shatokhin, VDate:Aug 2015The evolution of the quantum states of photons propagating through turbulence can be investigated with the infinitesimal propagation equation (IPE). However, when it is expressed directly in terms of an orbital angular momentum (OAM) basis, ...Read more
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:Gailele, Lucas M; Dudley, Angela L; Ndagano, B; McLaren M, M; Rosales, C; Forbes, ADate:Jul 2016The orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light has become the focus of intensive research. Traditional optical communication systems optimize multiplexing in the polarization and the wavelength of light to attain an increase in bandwith. However ...Read more
Author:Dudley, Angela L; Litvin, I; Forbes, ADate:Jan 2012To measure the Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) density of superposition fields two steps are needed: generation and measurement. An azimuthally-varying phase (bounded by a ring-slit) placed in the spatial frequency domain produces a higher-order ...Read more
Author:Dudley, Angela L; Schulze, C; Litvin, I; Duparré, M; Forbes, ADate:Aug 2013Although many techniques are efficient at measuring optical orbital angular momentum (OAM), they do not allow one to obtain a quantitative measurement for the OAM density across an optical field and instead only measure its global OAM. Numerous ...Read more
