Demonstration of 1.024-Tbit/s 16-Channel Mid-IR Free-Space Optical Communications by Combining Wavelength, Polarization, and Mode Multiplexing
We demonstrate a free-space optical communication system in the mid-infrared region utilizing wavelength-, polarization-, and mode-division multiplexing. A 16-channel data link with a total data rate of 1.024 Tbit/s is achieved by employing 4 wavelengths, 2 polarizations, and 2 orbital angular momentum modes, each carrying a 32-Gbaud QPSK signal.
