Full angular momentum states constitute a complete and higher state space of a photon, which are significant not only for fundamental study of light but also for practical applications utilizing cylindrical optics such as optical fibers. Here we propose and demonstrate a simple yet effective scheme of combining the spiral transformation with Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) metasurfaces for high-resolution sorting of full angular momentum states. The scheme is verified by successfully sorting full angular momentum states with 7 orbital angular momentum states and 2 spin angular momentum states via numerical simulations and experiments. We expect that our work paves the way for simple high-resolution sorting of full angular momentum states, which could be highly useful in both classical and quantum information systems.

Tunable Orbital Angular Momentum Converter Based on Integrated Multiplexers

M. N. Malik, N. Zhang, V Toccafondo, C. Klitis, M. Lavery, A. Sgambelluri, J. Zhu, X. Cai, S. Yu, G. Preve, M. Sorel, A. Bogoni, M. Scaffardi

Summary: A four-orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes converter has been implemented and characterized with the cascade of an OAM demultiplexer and an OAM multiplexer. The OAM multiplexer is based on four tunable OAM emitters allowing the selection of the emitted OAM mode order by thermal tuning. The completely passive OAM demultiplexer consists of the cascade of two patterned refractive elements followed by a lens and can work independently of the input signal's polarization.

Summary: The two-layer switch presented in this study utilizes orbital angular momentum (OAM) and wavelength of light for switching, aiming to increase scalability with high throughput and low power consumption. It is capable of accepting optical Gaussian data inputs and directing them to different output ports, supporting real data traffic including data and video streams through optical fibers and waveguides.

Summary: This paper proposes a modified inter-mode coupling characterization method based on swept-wavelength interferometry measurement to accurately characterize the low inter-mode coupling of weakly-coupled few mode fibers. Experimental results show that the proposed method has feasibility and reliability in measuring low-coupling characteristics between modes.
