Abstract
The use of orbital angular momentum (OAM) as an independent dimension for information encryption has garnered considerable attention. However, the multiplexing capacity of OAM is limited, and there is a need for additional dimensions to enhance storage capabilities. We propose and implement orbital angular momentum lattice (OAML) multiplexed holography. The vortex lattice (VL) beam comprises three adjustable parameters: the rotation angle of the VL, the angle between the wave normal and the z axis, which determines the VL’s dimensions, and the topological charge. Both the rotation angle and the VL’s dimensions serve as supplementary encrypted dimensions, contributing azimuthally and radially, respectively. We investigate the mode selectivity of OAML and focus on the aforementioned parameters. Through experimental validation, we demonstrate the practical feasibility of OAML multiplexed holography across multiple dimensions. This groundbreaking development reveals new possibilities for the advancement of practical information encryption systems.
