This form of spatial multiplexing, known as mode multiplexing, has the potential to significantly increase communication system capacity and spectral efficiency. Of particular note is the multiplexing of orbital-angular-momentum modes for high-capacity free-space optical and millimeter-wave links. We will discuss transmission results, design guidelines, mitigation of turbulence and crosstalk, and classical and quantum channels.
