Experimental investigation of modal crosstalk using LCOS-based spatial light modulator for mode conversion

We characterize an LCOS-based mode multiplexer fed with a 100Gb/s PDM-QPSK signal in a transmission experiment over 40km of few-mode fiber. The tolerance of the Q 2 -factor performance to the crosstalk-induced phase mismatch is quantified.
