Description

Reverse design method of photon orbital angular momentum mode multiplexer/demultiplexer
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical communication, in particular to a reverse design method of a photon orbital angular momentum mode multiplexer/demultiplexer.
Background
With the increasing demand for communication capacity in modern society and the approaching of the utilization of traditional multiplexing dimensions such as amplitude, wavelength and polarization to the limit, how to utilize space, which is an underutilized multiplexing dimension, i.e., space division multiplexing technology, has been receiving attention from more and more researchers in recent years. Among them, multiplexing vortex modes carrying photon Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) is one of important research directions.
The mode multiplexing/demultiplexing device is a core device in a mode division multiplexing communication system. Studies have demonstrated that a series of phase plates separated by free space can achieve arbitrary unitary transformations, so that the phase plates can simply and efficiently implement mode multiplexing/demultiplexing. Either analytical methods or inverse design methods can be used to design the phase plate. The analytic method is to design a phase plate with coordinate transformation function according to logarithm-polar coordinate transformation or spiral transformation theory. The reverse design method optimizes the phase distribution of the phase plate by adopting numerical algorithms such as a wavefront matching method or a steepest descent method.
The reverse design based on the wave front matching method is to correct the input mode f of forward propagation in the plane of each phase plate i And a counter-propagating output mode b i Phase mismatch between them, maximizing the degree of mode overlap. The optimization process is repeated one by one plane until convergence. The modification to each plane can be obtained by the overlap function of each set of input/output patterns, and the overlap function of the ith set of input/output patterns on the kth plane is defined as:
Figure BDA0002358540060000011
wherein phi k The phase distribution of the k-th plane. The correction term of the phase plate is the argument of the mean overlap function of all modes in the plane, i.e.
Figure BDA0002358540060000012
Wherein phi i Is an overlap function o ki The average phase of (2).
The wavefront matching method can only match the input and output modes as much as possible, i.e. maximize the overlapping integral of the input and output modes, without the presence of an objective function.
The reverse design based on the steepest descent method is to set the mode overlapping degree of the obtained mode and the target mode as an objective functionThe phase shift distribution of the phase plate is iterated along the gradient direction. The pattern overlap is defined as the overlap integral of the resulting pattern and the target pattern. Let the resulting light field be u z The target light field is u g The pattern overlap y in the discretization case is represented as:
Figure BDA0002358540060000021
for the discretization case in numerical calculation, the independent variable of the mode overlap is the phase shift value per pixel on each phase plate, i.e.
Figure BDA0002358540060000022
Wherein N is the number of phase plates, and N is the number of pixels of a single phase plate.
Figure BDA0002358540060000023
And representing the phase shift value of the q-th pixel point on the p-th plane.
In order to apply the steepest descent method, an analytical expression of the objective function with respect to the argument needs to be found. The propagation of the optical field throughout the device can be decomposed into the effects of several phase plates and free-space propagation. The effect of the phase plate on the optical field is calculated by angular spectrum decomposition method for free space propagation
Figure BDA0002358540060000024
And propagation of optical fields in free space
Figure BDA0002358540060000025
Can be respectively represented as
Figure BDA0002358540060000026

Wherein φ is the phase distribution of the phase plate;

hadamard product (matrix-to-element product) of a matrix; f and F -1 Respectively representing a two-dimensional discrete fourier transform and an inverse transform; h (z) is a matrix discretized by a transfer function, z representing the propagation distance. The propagation of the optical field throughout the device can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0002358540060000029
as can be seen from the above equation, the overlap integral is a differentiable function of the phase shift value, and reverse design using the steepest descent method is feasible. However, the reverse design process has great freedom degree, and the iteration process is easy to fall into the local optimal solution, so that parameters such as initial conditions, phase plate spacing and the like and the iteration mode need to be carefully selected.
