Abstract :
Capabilities and limitations of diffractive optics in mode division multiplexing for optical communications are investigated theoretically and experimentally. Computer generated multichannel matched optical spatial filters provided low cross-talks in de-multiplexing of several Laguerre-Gaussian modes.
