Abstract :
A compact orbital angular momentum mode multiplexer/demultiplexer, exploiting the image rotation properties of two suitably oriented Porro prisms in a Michelson interferometer, is proposed. The effectiveness in mode demultiplexing of this passive device is experimentally proved for 20-Gbit/s two-mode transmission.
