Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate a method for enhancing and flattening multiplexed entanglement in the four-wave mixing (FWM) process, which is implemented by replacing Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) modes with perfect vortex (PV) modes. For the topological charge l ranging from −5 to 5, the entanglement degrees of orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexed entanglement with PV modes are all larger than those of OAM multiplexed entanglement with LG modes. More importantly, for OAM multiplexed entanglement with PV modes, the degree of entanglement almost does not change with the topology value. In other words, we experimentally flatten the OAM multiplexed entanglement, which cannot be achieved in OAM multiplexed entanglement with LG modes based on the FWM process. In addition, we experimentally measure the entanglement with coherent superposition OAM modes. Our scheme provides a new, to the best of our knowledge, platform to construct an OAM multiplexed system and may find potential applications in realizing the parallel quantum information protocols.
