Abstract

Orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes have been proposed for multiplexing information in fibers and free-space links. We show that OAM multiplexing does not realize the capacity limits of free-space channels, and is outperformed by multiplexing in parallel Gaussian beams or in any complete modal basis.
