A mode mux and demux using programmable LCOS technology has been used to transmit two 100Gb/s PDM QPSK over a 3m fiber. Mode crosstalk is minimized by programming LCOS and OSNR sensitivity is reported. OCIS codes: (000.0000) General; (000.0000) General [8-pt. type. For codes, see www.opticsinfobase.org/submit/ocis.]
