Abstract :
We propose a volume holographic demultiplexer in which each modal component can be separated spatially by phase matching characteristic of volume holograms combined with a phase conjugator. A dramatical improvement of the communication capacity can be expected by transmitting two or more WDM signals through one multimode fiber.
