Ma. Golub et al., EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF A MULTIBEAM HOLOGRAPHIC OPTICAL-ELEMENTMATCHED TO GAUSS-LAGUERRE MODES, Kvantovaa elektronika, 23(2), 1996, pp. 188-190
An experimental investigation was made of the 'modan', a computer-gene
rated holographic optical element which reconstructs the images of sev
eral modes. The modan was a matched spatial filter with angular separa
tion of the channels. The results of measurements agreed with the theo
ry and confirmed the expected performance of the modan. A comparison o
f two measurement methods led to recommendations on their use.
