Spatial modes of light can potentially carry a vast amount of information, making
them promising candidates for both classical and quantum communication. However,
the distribution of such modes over large distances remains difficult. Intermodal
coupling complicates their use with common fibers, whereas free-space
transmission is thought to be strongly influenced by atmospheric turbulence.
Here, we show the transmission of orbital angular momentum modes of light over a
distance of 143 km between two Canary Islands, which is 50× greater than the
maximum distance achieved previously. As a demonstration of the transmission
quality, we use superpositions of these modes to encode a short message. At the
receiver, an artificial neural network is used for distinguishing between the
different twisted light superpositions. The algorithm is able to identify
different mode superpositions with an accuracy of more than 80% up to the third
mode order and decode the transmitted message with an error rate of 8.33%. Using
our data, we estimate that the distribution of orbital angular momentum
entanglement over more than 100 km of free space is feasible. Moreover, the
quality of our free-space link can be further improved by the use of
state-of-the-art adaptive optics systems.
