Fiber mode excitation using phase-only spatial light modulation: Guideline on free-space path design and lossless optimization

Phase-only spatial light modulators allow to reshape a Gaussian beam by imposing a given phase distribution along the beam cross section. This technique is widely used in the context of mode-division multiplexing to produce, after propagation through a free-space path, the field designed to excite a...
