○Kohki Shibahara¹, Mitsumasa Nakajima², Kohei Ikeda^3,4, Akira Kawai¹, Toshikazu Hashimoto², Masaya Notomi^3,4, Yutaka Miyamoto¹ (1. NTT Network Innovation Labs. (Japan), 2. NTT Device Technology Labs. (Japan), 3. NTT Nanophotonic Center (Japan), 4. NTT Basic Research Labs. (Japan))

We review recent advances in photonic processor applications to mode-division-multiplexing transmission and demonstrate improved spatial-mode controllability via our on-chip mode permutation technique, enabling seamless switching between weakly- and strongly-coupled transmission regimes.
