We experimentally demonstrate and evaluate the performance of an analog signal transmission systemwith photonic integrated optical vortex emitter and 3.6-km few-mode fiber (FMF) link using orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes. The fabricated photonic integrated device is capable of emitting vector optical vortices carrying well-defined and quantized OAM modes with topological charge l = -2 and 2. After propagating through 3.6-km FMF, we measure and assess the spurious free dynamic range of the second-order harmonic distortion. Moreover, we study the impact of nonlinearity- induced resonance wavelength shift of the optical vortex emitter on the analog link performance as increasing the input optical power.

Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate and evaluate the performance of an analog signal transmission systemwith photonic integrated optical vortex emitter and 3.6-km few-mode fiber (FMF) link using orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes. The fabricated photonic integrated device is capable of emitting vector optical vortices carrying well-defined and quantized OAM modes with topological charge l = -2 and 2. After propagating through 3.6-km FMF, we measure and assess the spurious free dynamic range of the second-order harmonic distortion. Moreover, we study the impact of nonlinearity- induced resonance wavelength shift of the optical vortex emitter on the analog link performance as increasing the input optical power.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
