Twisting Light with Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM): Advances and Opportunities
Organizers:
Alan E. Willner, University of Southern California, USA
Miles J. Padgett, University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK
Jian Wang, Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics & Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China
Introduction:
In the 1600s, Kepler guessed that the momentum of sunlight caused the tail of comet to always point away from the sun. It is known as the linear momentum or translational momen-tum. In the early 1900s, Poynting deduced that circularly polarized light carries an angular momentum or rotational momentum. It is known as the spin angular momentum (SAM). Circularly polarized light has an SAM of ±ħ per photon, where ħ is the reduced Plank constant. In the 1930s, Darwin indicated that more complicated transitions required an angular momentum exchange between light and atom corresponding to integer multiples of ħ. In 1992, Allen and co-workers recognized that a light beam having helical phasefronts also carried an angular momentum. It is known as orbital angular momentum (OAM). Helically phased light has an OAM of lħ per photon, where the twisting rate l is the topological charge value. Momentum, angular momentum, SAM and OAM are all fundamental physical quantities of light. In recent years, twisting light with OAM has received increasing interest and given rise to many developments in astronomy, manipulation, trapping, tweezer, microscopy, imaging, sensing, nonlinear interactions and quantum entanglement. Very recently, twisting light has also seen its potential applications in rotational Doppler effect, slow light, and data information transfer for optical communications.
This workshop aims to explore the fundamental aspects of OAM and its wide applications through invited presentations and panel discussions sessions. The discussions will focus on the state-of-the-art advances and future opportunities in OAM-carrying twisted light and applications in various areas. The topics of relevance include but are not limited to:
• Fundamental principles and properties of OAM-carrying twisted light beams
• Different kinds of special light beams (Laguerre-Gaussian beams and Bessel beams with phase singularity, vector beams with polarization singularity, etc.)
• Generation, propagation, processing and detection of OAM-carrying twisted light beams.

Introduction:
Silicon Photonics, a chip size optical solution using silicon as a material platform to develop and fabricate optoelectronic devices, has drawn great attention in recent years due to its promise of cost-effective optoelectronic integration using existing, high-volume CMOS fabrication technology. The main drive for the rapid development of silicon photonics has been its application in energy-efficient, high-speed optical communications and interconnects for high performance computing systems. In the past decade, major silicon photonics building blocks have been developed and proven viable for these high-speed applications. At the same time, other unique optical properties of silicon have been employed for biomedical sensing, nonlinear optics, as well as mid infrared applications.

Introduction:
Towards “Networked society” goal by 2020, 5G mobile communication is on its fast track in recent years. In the future mobile communications, 10~100 times data rate per user and 10~100 times connected devices will generate about 1000 times mobile data traffic. At the same time, 5G also supports low-speed and long-lived traffic (such as for sensors). The mixed traffic pattern will challenge the capacity and flexibility of optical networks greatly. And the low laten-cy requirement and ultra-dense cell scenario require novel architecture in the mobile network. What the future optical networks should be like for the future mobile communication will be discussed in this workshop. The invited speakers will present the view on this topic from industry and academia.

Introduction:
Optical communications are all about the exploitation of different physical dimensions of light waves, including complex amplitude, frequency (or wavelength), time, polarization, etc. Conventional techniques in optical communications such as wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM), time-division multiplexing (TDM) and polarization-division multiplexing (PDM) have almost reached their scalability limits. Space domain is the only known physical dimension left and space-division multiplexing (SDM) seems the only option to further scale the transmission capacity and spectral efficiency of optical communications. In recent years, few-mode fiber (FMF), multi-mode fiber (MMF), multi-core fiber (MCF) and few-mode multi-core fiber (FM-MCF), the promising candidates for SDM, have been widely used in optical fiber communications. The challenges would be efficient (de)multiplexer (e.g. photonic lantern), amplifiers, and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) signal processing techniques. Integration will be the trend and the key to SDM. Meanwhile, free-space and underwater optical communications have also exploited the space domain to increase the transmission capacity and spectral efficiency. The challenges would be long-distance transmission limited by propagation loss, divergence, scattering and turbulence. Very recently, helically phased light beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) have also seen potential applications both in free-space and fiber-based optical communications. Actually, different mode bases such as linearly polarized (LP) modes and OAM modes can be employed for SDM. Additionally, SDM could also be used in chip-scale photonic interconnects and data center optical interconnects. Remarkably, the information capacity limits in SDM-assisted optical communications systems are also of great importance to be studied and discussed.
This workshop will focus on the recent advances and future challenges in optical communications exploiting the space domain. Topics of relevance include but are not limited to:
• Fundamental principles, novel methods, apparatus and architectures of SDM.
• Enabling SDM techniques using spatial modes in different mode bases.
• Enabling special fibers for SDM.
• Enabling photonic integrated devices for SDM.
• Enabling amplifiers for SDM.
• Efficient (de)multiplexing techniques for SDM.
• Enabling techniques for MIMO-assisted SDM and MIMO-free SDM.
• Propagation impairments in fiber, free-space and underwater optical communications using SDM.
• Chip-scale photonic interconnects and data center optical interconnects using SDM.
• SDM transmission experiments using few-mode fiber, multi-mode fiber, multi-core fiber, and few-mode multi-core fiber.
• Fiber-based, free-space and underwater SDM trans-mission experiments using OAM multiplexing.
• Optical switching, optical signal processing and various networking functions in SDM optical communications.
• Information capacity limits in SDM-assisted optical communications systems.

Introduction:
Today’s optical networks are facing challenges and opportunities. First, from the traffic distribution point of view, today’s networks demonstrate an increasing asymmetric trend of traffic flows between node pairs. With the popularity of content delivery and the wide deployment of data centers, we are seeing a huge amount of data leaving a backbone node attached to a content source (e.g., a huge data center) while the amount of traffic heading to the node with the content source is subtle. This trend would become even clearer with increasing popularity of bandwidth-intensive video applications. At the same time, more flexible and scalable optical networking technologies are fast evolving at the levels from components to systems. For example, the next generation of wavelength selective switch (WSS) can support finer spectrum granularities (e.g., 5 GHz) compared to the ITU fixed grid standard with M碞 switching capability. These new features can offer the contentionless capacity for a colorless, directionless, and contentionless (CDC) ROADM in a cost-efficient way. Moreover, carriers start to pay more attention to the new fiber technology with an ultra-low loss and a large effective area, which is able to significantly enhance the transmission distance of a lightpath before signal regeneration in backbone networks. Nonetheless, though the fabrication technique for this type of fiber has become mature, it is still under debate whether or not the vast deployment of this type of fibers should be started due to the high cost. Thus, this workshop will address these challenges and opportunities. We will discuss the following research aspects:
(1) How should an optical network be evolved to most efficiently fit the increasing asymmetric traffic pattern as well as low-latency and high-bandwidth requirement of the traffic flows?
(2) Would a new type of optical network architecture such as a flexible optical network with ultra-dense (UD) frequency granularities be the future solution for the 4K video and 5G communication era?
(3) How should we take advantage of the new switching capabilities of WSS to build and gradually deploy CDC ROADMs in the optical network?
(4) When and how should we widely deploy the next-generation ultra-low-loss and large-effective-area fibers in the optical backbone network?
(5) Other challenges related to optical network evolution.

Introduction:
In the past years, ultra-high dense photonic devices with high performances have been very attractive for realizing large-scale photonic integrated circuits to satisfy the increasing demands of photonic-networks-on-chip and labs-on-chip. Basically, the manipulation of on-chip light-matter interactions plays one of the most important key roles for realizing high-performance integrated photonic devices. In particular, enhancement of the on-chip light-matter inter-actions is very helpful to improve the energy conversion between photons and atoms, so that it is possible to realize high-efficiency on-chip photonic devices whose footprint and power-consumption are reduced significantly. This workshop will focus on the challenges and recent advances in the field of on-chip light-matter interactions, including the physics and devices.
