Abstract
- Beam splitting of high-order Gaussian (HOG) beams increases the channel capacity and improves the processing speed of the incoming information. Here a novel all-optical tunable multi-port HOG beam splitter under a periodic dielectric atomic structure is proposed and demonstrated. The original HOG beam is replicated in the output beams. A distinguishable five-port output beam is observed in the experiment, which is beneficial for high-speed optical communications. By tuning the optical properties of this periodic dielectric structure, the spatial position and intensity distribution of each output port are precisely controllable. The splitting ratio δ can be finely adjusted in the range 0 – 4.8. This work provides a new approach for multi-port HOG beam splitters and the basis for all-optical communication.
