Experimental Investigation of Modal Crosstalk using LCOS-based Spatial Light Modulator for Mode Conversion
18 September 2011
We characterize an LCOS-based mode multiplexer fed with a 100Gb/s PDM-QPSK signal in a transmission experiment over 40km of few-mode fiber. The tolerance of the Q2-factor performance to the crosstalk-induced phase contrast mismatch is quantified. OCIS codes: (060.2330) Fiber optics communications ; (060.1660) Coherent communications
