Orbital angular momentum (OAM), a new dimension of photons, has potentials in lots of domains as high-dimensional data coding/decoding. Here we experimentally demonstrate a free-space data transmission system based on 8 bits multi-state OAM shift keying, where multiplexed optical vortices containing 8 various OAM states are employed to constitute 8 bits binary symbols. In the transmitter, the data coding of OAM shift keying is realized by switching a series of special-designed holograms. And in the receiver, the decoding is done by a single Dammann vortex grating along with image processing. We experimentally transmit data, including a gray-scale image, in free-space for 10 meters, showing zero bit-error-rate. The demonstrated results indicate a wide prospect for the future high-dimensional large data rate optical security communications.
