Light, but the energy loss of Dammam vortex grating is larger, when Dammam vortex grating operates the roads N light beam, only 1/N's
Energy is utilized effectively.
In order to the multiplex/demultiplex vortex beams under low-loss, optics geometric transformation is introduced in vortex beams
In multiplexing and demultiplexing.Optics geometric transformation can by between the vortex light and inclined plane light wave of circular ring shape intensity distribution into
Conversion, inclined plane light wave are then separated to different channels to row by fourier lense mutually.Theoretically, optics geometric transformation does not have
There is energy loss, without other energy losses other than loss caused by optical device, therefore optics geometric transformation has loss
Low advantage.But optics geometric transformation needs are completed by multiple optical devices, thus it is complicated with system, by ectocine
Greatly, the shortcomings of inconvenient to use.
In order to which optics geometric transformation is directly applied in actual production, life, it would be desirable to it is a kind of low-loss,
Integrated device easy to use.
