OAM multiplication operator enabled holographic multiplexing

Holography has emerged as a vital platform for three-dimensional displays, optical encryption, and photonic information processing, leveraging diverse physical dimensions of light such as wavelength, polarization, and orbital angular momentum (OAM) to expand multiplexing capacity. However, the exhaustive utilization of these intrinsic degrees of freedom has saturated the parameter space for holographic encoding, leaving no room for further scalability. Here, we demonstrate an OAM multiplication operator enabled holographic multiplexing. We engineer the operator-specific hologram that selectively responds to the predefined operator pathway. Subsequent validation of orthogonality between distinct operator pathways ensures the multiplexing ability, thereby enabling the parallel encoding of multiple holographic images. In the experiment, we have successfully demonstrated a ninefold capacity enhancement over conventional OAM holography and a 2-bit operator-multiplexed hologram for high-security optical encryption. This work introduces operators as a synthetic dimension beyond light's intrinsic properties into holography, unlocking a scalable and secure paradigm for ultrahigh-dimensional information technologies.
