Free-space data transfer using the spatial modes of light. 61st Annual conference of the SAIP, 4-8 July 2016, Cape Townhttp://hdl.handle.net/10204/921861st Annual conference of the SAIP, 4-8 July 2016, UCT, Cape TownThe 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 we are expected to reach a bandwidth ceiling in the near future. For this reason we are interested in the spatial degree of freedom that light can provide for optical communication.enLight beamsOrbital angular momentumOAMBandwidth ceilingConference PresentationGailele, L.
