Abstract
In this paper, a wide-spectrum orbital angular momentum (OAM) system with a polarization and optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) free-space transmission system is experimentally demonstrated. To enhance the system transmission performance in atmospheric turbulent channel, a wide-spectrum laser and an OAM beam are used. The wide-spectrum laser can be generated by utilizing pumped laser to pump nonlinear fiber, and OAM can be generated with a special light modulator. Furthermore, OTDM and polarization multiplexing methods are used to enhance the communication rate from 4 Gbit/s to 32 Gbit/s. With the use of the wide-spectrum laser and the OAM beam, the receiving scintillation index (SI) can be reduced, and detection sensitivity can be improved. It is the first time a wide-spectrum OAM communication system performance has been studied. It is shown that under weak atmospheric turbulence condition, the SI can be reduced by 38% and the receiving sensitivity can be improved by 3.18 dB via wide-spectrum OAM beams.
