Abstract
We propose using the phenomenon of conical refraction occurring in optical biaxial crystals to design a protocol for polarization de-multiplexing and multiplexing to increase the channel capacity for free space optical communication applications. The proposed technique is based on the forward-backward optical transform occurring when a light beam propagates consecutively along the optic axes of two identical biaxial crystals with opposite orientations. We present experimental proof of usefulness of the technique by increasing in one order of magnitude the channel capacity at optical frequencies in a propagation distance of 4m.
