                            - We demonstrate an integrated solution for optical vortex beams of fast reconfigurability for applications in high-speed high-dimensional classical and quantum communications.  This work underpins core device solution behind workpackage 4 for EU H2020 project ROAM (ID 645361). The work forms the basis of a US patent (US9103975B2) granted in 2015, as well as a proof of concept for award from National Natural Science Foundation of China (2014CB340000 - http://www.most.gov.cn/kjbgz/201404/t20140409_112644.htm). This work has led to 2 invited talks (paper 0884, ECOC 2015, Valencia, https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/7341974; paper AF4E.2, ACP 2016, China, https://www.osapublishing.org/abstract.cfm?uri=ACPC-2016-AF4E.2).
