The light beam modulated by the spatial light modulator will be focused at the pinhole 5 after passing through the Fourier lens 4A. Due to the addition of the blazed grating on the phase pattern, the focal points on the image plane will be periodically arranged in the horizontal direction. The first-order diffraction light spot is filtered out using the pinhole 5, and a lens 4B with a focal length of f2 is placed at f2 behind the exit light beam. A high-purity n-order Hermite-Gaussian beam is generated. The spatial distribution state of the Hermite-Gaussian beam can be denoted as |n>, and the symbol |·> represents the Dirac right arrow, and
[0289] |n> = ∫∫dxdyψ n (x, y) |x, y>
[0290] Step B1: The polarization state of the Hermite-Gaussian beam is selected to be 45-degree linearly polarized light by pre-selection, specifically:

Since the mode field diameter of the single-mode optical fiber 15 is much smaller than the size of the transformed light field, the receiving efficiency of the single-mode optical fiber 15 can be expressed as
[0331]
[0332] where | < ψ M | ψ f > | 2 is exactly the projection probability of the beam final state on the projection measurement basis | ψ M >.
