Abstract

We propose a method to measure the mode coefficient in a few-mode fiber with OAM modes. In this method, the eigenmodes are calculated through the optical fiber parameters, including LP modes and orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes. Using a single spatial light modulator (SLM) to load multi-channel computer-generated hologram (CGH), multiple matched filters can be generated at the same time to realize the real-time and accurate measurement of each mode coefficient (mode content and relative phase) and reconstruct the optical field. We validate the method on multimode beams, and the accuracy of mode coefficients measurement is up to 99%. It can be used as adaptive control coefficient to provide solutions for the expansion of photon lantern and other technologies.
