Fig. 1. Illustration of input-to-output mapping for MPLC-based devices. (a) Mode multiplexer converting two separated input beams into two overlapped orthogonal beams; (b) interferometrically combining two separated input beams; (c) optical 90-deg hybrid mixing of two separated input beams; (d) mode demultiplexer and optical 90-deg hybrid separating and converting orthogonal overlapped modes and mixing with their respective local oscillators. The phase retardations of the spots are marked alongside them.
