Abstract
In underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC), a vortex beam carrying orbital angular momentum has a spatial spiral phase distribution, which provides spatial freedom for UWOC and, as a new information modulation dimension resource, it can greatly improve channel capacity and spectral efficiency. In a case of the disturbance of a vortex beam by ocean turbulence, where a Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beam carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) is damaged by turbulence and distortion, which affects OAM pattern recognition, and the phase feature of the phase map not only has spiral wavefront but also phase singularity feature, the convolutional neural network (CNN) model can effectively extract the information of the distorted OAM phase map to realize the recognition of dual-mode OAM and single-mode OAM. The phase map of the Laguerre-Gaussian beam passing through ocean turbulence was used as a dataset to simulate and analyze the OAM recognition effect during turbulence caused by different temperature ratios and salinity. The results showed that, during strong turbulence Cn2=1.0×10-13K2m-2/3, when different ω = -1.75, the recognition rate of dual-mode OAM (ℓ = ±1~±5, ±1~±6, ±1~±7, ±1~±8, ±1~±9, ±1~±10) had higher recognition rates of 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 98.89%, and 98.67% and single-mode OAM (ℓ = 1~5, 1~6, 1~7, 1~8, 1~9, 1~10) had higher recognition rates of 93.33%, 92.77%, 92.33%, 90%, 87.78%, and 84%, respectively. With the increase in ω, the recognition accuracy of the CNN model will gradually decrease, and in a fixed case, the dual-mode OAM has stronger anti-interference ability than single-mode OAM. These results may provide a reference for optical communication technologies that implement high-capacity OAM.

Abstract
The roughness of the ocean surface significantly impacts air-to-sea imaging, oceanographic monitoring, and optical communication. Most current and previous methods for addressing this roughness and its impact on optical propagation are either entirely statistical or theoretical, or are 'mixed methods' based on a combination of statistical models and parametric-based physical models. In this paper, we performed experiments in a 50-foot-wave tank on wind-generated waves, in which we varied the wind speed to measure how the surface waves affect the laser beam propagation and develop a geometrical optical model to measure and analyze the refraction angle and slope angle of the laser beam under various environmental conditions. The study results show that the laser beam deviations/distortions and laser beam footprint size are strongly related to wind speed and laser beam incidence angle.

Abstract
The orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing technology is an essential method to boost underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) capacity. However, state-of-art UWOC systems are often demonstrated in the laboratory using bulky and high power-consumption instruments, which can be impractical in a realistic environment. In this work, we propose, design and demonstrate a compact and energy-efficient OAM multiplexing UWOC prototype with complete packaging. Indeed, we improve the signal generation, modulation, receiving and processing components by employing the integrated programmable chips. We also employ two geometric phase Q-plate chips as an OAM multiplexer and de-multiplexer, respectively. Owing to the improvement of these components and the optical design, we package the complete UWOC system in two 65cm×35cm×40cm boxes with the power consumption of 20W. Our experiment demonstrates such a completely packaged prototype can support two 625Mbit/s channels (OAM+3, OAM-3) multiplexing in a 6-meter underwater environment with fidelity.

Abstract
Beyond orbital angular momentum of Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) modes, the radial index can also be exploited as information channel in free-space optical (FSO) communication to extend the communication capacity, resulting in the LG- shift keying (LG-SK) FSO communications. However, the recognition of radial index is critical and tough when the superposed high-order LG modes are disturbed by the atmospheric turbulences (ATs). In this paper, the convolutional neural network (CNN) is utilized to recognize both the azimuthal and radial index of superposed LG modes. We experimentally demonstrate the application of CNN model in a 10-meter 768-ary LG-SK FSO communication system at the AT of Cn2 = 1e-14 m-2/3. Based on the high recognition accuracy of the CNN model (>95%) in the scheme, a colorful image can be transmitted and the peak signal-to-noise ratio of the received image can exceed 35 dB. We anticipate that our results can stimulate further researches on the utilization of the potential applications of LG modes with non-zero radial index based on the artificial-intelligence-enhanced optoelectronic systems.

Abstract
A novel statistical model connected with turbulence strength is proposed to describe the attenuation and crosstalk in a vortex-based multi-channel free space optical (FSO) communication system. In this model, self-channel fading and interference between different orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes are characterized by the mixture exponential-generalized-gamma (EGG) distribution, and the analytical relations between turbulence strength and the distribution function's parameters are expressed by piecewise functions. The problems of obtaining parameters of this model are converted into optimization problems, and the algorithms based on the trust trigon algorithm are proposed to achieve more optimized parameters. This model is confirmed to have a good fit with the emulated data of OAM attenuation and crosstalk calculated by the square of the scalar product between the fields of two OAM modes. Furthermore, the application of the statistical model to the OAM-multiplexing FSO system with quadrature-phase-shift-keying modulation is presented, in which the theoretical average bit-error rate results match well with Monte Carlo simulation. This model can be used for FSO system design with OAM for continuous weak turbulence condition.

Abstract
Free-space optical communication is a promising means to establish versatile, secure and high-bandwidth communication between mobile nodes for many critical applications. While the spatial modes of light offer a degree of freedom to increase the information capacity of an optical link, atmospheric turbulence can introduce severe distortion to the spatial modes and lead to data degradation. Here, we demonstrate experimentally a vector-beam-based, turbulence-resilient communication protocol, namely spatial polarization differential phase shift keying (SPDPSK), that can reliably transmit high-dimensional information through a turbulent channel without the need of any adaptive optics for beam compensation. In a proof-of-principle experiment with a controllable turbulence cell, we measure a channel capacity of 4.84 bits per pulse using 34 vector modes through a turbulent channel with a scintillation index of 1.09, and 4.02 bits per pulse using 18 vector modes through even stronger turbulence corresponding to a scintillation index of 1.54. Resistance to turbulence is an ongoing challenge for point-to-point freespace communications. Here the authors present a protocol for encoding a large amount of information in vector beams that are transmittable through a moderately strong turbulent channel without adaptive beam compensation.

Abstract
Leveraging recent advances in space-division multiplexing, we propose and demonstrate turbulence-resistant free-space optical communication using few-mode (FM) pre-amplified receivers. The rationale for this approach is that a distorted wavefront can be decomposed into a superposition of the fundamental Gaussian mode and high-order modes of a few-mode fiber. We present the noise statistics and the sensitivity of the FM pre-amplified receiver, followed by experimental and numerical comparisons between FM pre-amplified receivers and single-mode (SM) pre-amplified receivers with or without adaptive optics. FM pre-amplified receivers for FSO can achieve high sensitivity, simplicity and reliability.

Abstract
The average capacity of a single-input single-output (SISO) underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) system with partially coherent Gaussian beams in a weak oceanic turbulence regime is investigated. An approximate analytical expression of scintillation index is derived mathematically to characterize the impact of oceanic turbulence on the propagation behavior of the partially coherent Gaussian beams. Then, the path loss caused by absorption and scattering in the ocean is numerically simulated with the Monte Carlo method. With consideration for absorption, scattering, and oceanic turbulence, the combined channel fading model is established, and the average capacity of the UWOC system (defined as the maximum mutual information between the input and output) is examined. Results show that the scintillations are reduced by decreases in propagation distance, the dissipation rate of mean-square temperature, and the ratio of the temperature and salinity contributions to the refractive index spectrum. Scintillations are also decreased by increases in source beam width, degree of partial coherence, and the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid. As a result, the average capacity of the UWOC system is enhanced. Moreover, the average capacity of the UWOC system can be promoted with the availability of channel state information at the receiver. This work will benefit the research and development of UWOC systems.

Abstract
We experimentally demonstrated high-speed diffuse line-of-sight optical wireless communication across a wavy water-air-interface. The testbed channel was evaluated, in terms of data rate, coverage and robustness to the dynamic wave movement, based on the performance of different modulation schemes, including non-return-to-zero on-off keying (NRZ-OOK) and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM)-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). Under the emulated calm water condition, 8-QAM-OFDM offers a data rate of 111.4 Mbit/s at the aligned position, while only 55 Mbit/s is achieved using NRZ-OOK. On the other hand, effective communication can still be maintained at a high data rate of 11 Mbit/s when the photodetector is off aligned laterally by 5 cm based on NRZ-OOK modulation, leading to a coverage of ~79 cm2. By utilizing OFDM modulation scheme, a data rate of 30 Mbit/s can be achieved up to 2.5-cm misalignment, leading to a coverage of ~20 cm2. Furthermore, in the presence of strong waves (15-mm wave height, causing a scintillation index of 0.667), 4-QAM-OFDM modulation showed a better resilience to channel instability than NRZ-OOK modulation. Our studies pave the way for the eventual realization of communication across a challenging water-air interface without the need for an interface relay, which is much sought-after for implementing a robust and large-coverage underwater-to-terrestrial internet-of-things.

Abstract
Orbital angular momentum (OAM), one fundamental property of light, has been of great interest over the past decades. An ideal OAM generator, fully compatible with existing physical dimensions (wavelength and polarization) of light, would offer the distinct features of broadband, polarization diversity, and ultra-compact footprint. Here, we propose, design, fabricate, and demonstrate an ultra-compact chip-scale broadband polarization diversity OAM generator on a silicon platform with a 3.6 × 3.6 μm2 footprint. The silicon OAM chip is formed by introducing a subwavelength surface structure (superposed holographic fork gratings) on top of a silicon waveguide, coupling the in-plane waveguide mode to the out-plane free-space OAM mode. We demonstrate in theory and experiment the broadband generation of polarization diversity OAM modes (x-/y-polarized OAM+1/OAM-1) from 1500 to 1630 nm with high purity and efficiency. The demonstrations of an ultra-compact broadband polarization diversity OAM generator may open up new perspectives for OAM-assisted N-dimensional optical multiplexing communications/interconnects and high-dimensional quantum communication systems.

Abstract
Twisted light, having a helical spatial phase structure and carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM), has given rise to many developments ranging from optical manipulation to optical communications. The laser excitation of twisted light in a reconfigurable and tunable way is of great interest. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate an OAM reconfigurable and wavelength tunable twisted light laser with achievable high-order OAM modes on a hybrid free-space and fiber platform. The excited twisted light laser is enabled by a ring resonator incorporating spatial light modulators (SLMs) and bandpass filter (BPF). By appropriately switching the phase pattern loaded onto SLMs and adjusting the BPF, twisted light laser with reconfigurable OAM and tunable wavelength is implemented. In the experiment, the OAM value is varied from -10 to +10 and the wavelength is adjusted from 1530 to 1565 nm covering the whole C band. The obtained results indicate successful implementation of a reconfigurable and tunable twisted light laser with favorable operation performance. Reconfigurable and tunable twisted light laser may open up new perspectives to more extensive OAM-enabled applications with improved flexibility and robustness.

Abstract
Line-of-sight link is widely used in common free-space optical (FSO) laser communications between two fixed locations. While in practical underwater wireless optical communications (UWOC), the environment is relatively complicated. In some scenarios there exist irremovable obstacles, which block the line-of-sight optical link. Fortunately, the air-water interface can function as a natural mirror to enable non-line-of-sight optical link using the total internal reflection. Very recently, twisted light beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) have attracted researchers' great attention to improve the transmission capacity in UWOC. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a non-line-of-sight underwater twisted light transmission link utilizing the total internal reflection at the air-water interface. To overcome the beam fluctuation and drift caused by the change of interface states, we develop a proof-of-concept adaptive feedback system to provide a stable output. Moreover, we study the degrading effects of the slight wind effect, the salinity (turbidity) effect, and the vertical thermal gradient-induced turbulence effect. The results show that the water wave caused by the slight wind causes the most beam drift, the thermal gradient causes the most distortions, and the salinity causes the most power loss.

Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes emission from a high emission efficiency OAM emitter for 20-Gbit/s quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) carrying data transmission in few-mode fiber (FMF). The device is capable of emitting vector optical vortices carrying well-defined OAM efficiently with the efficiency of the device >37%. Seven modes propagate through a 2-km two-mode and a 3.6-km three-mode FMF with measured optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) penalties less than 4 dB at a bit-error rate (BER) of 2 × 10-3. The demonstrations with favorable performance pave the way to incorporate silicon photonic integrated devices as transceivers in an OAM-enabled optical fiber communication link.
