Abstract
We design and fabricate a 2×4 90° free-space optical hybrid based on a birefringent crystal, which can be used in the high-speed satellite communication and satellite-to-ground communication. Compared with current fiber-based commercial coherent optical receiver, our fabricated free-space optical hybrid can achieve comparable performance.
