Multi-Channel Free-Space Optics Receiver Enabled by a Programmable Photonic Processor

A silicon photonic programmable processor of reconfigurable Mach-Zehnder interferometers is used to receive pairs of orthogonal spatially-overlapped beams modulated, sharing the same wavelength and polarization. The processor can automatically separate the two beams without any excess loss and no pr...

Description
Summary:A silicon photonic programmable processor of reconfigurable Mach-Zehnder interferometers is used to receive pairs of orthogonal spatially-overlapped beams modulated, sharing the same wavelength and polarization. The processor can automatically separate the two beams without any excess loss and no prior information on the incoming beams.
