Abstract:
A reconfigurable integrated mode regenerator is presented, which can select and regenerate arbitrary free-space optical beams. Mode-selectivity is achieved through a first Mach-Zehnder interferometer mesh, while a second mesh re-transmits the signal on an arbitrary output mode. Experimental validation at 25 Gbps data-rate is shown.
