Abstract :
In this paper, we discuss recent advancements in the use of orbital angular momentum for increasing channel capacity and spectral efficiency by spatially multiplexing multiple data channels. We also describe Tbit/s transmission results as well as basic demonstrations of switching and networking functions.
