**3.2 CGH generation setup**

The employed SLM is a reflective LCoS phase-only type, and its model is PLUTO-TELCO-012. It can operate within the wavelength range of

1400–1700 nm. Additionally, an active area of 15.36 × 8.64 mm<sup>2</sup> , a pixel pitch of 8.0 μm, a 92% fill factor, and 80% reflectivity are employed for displaying the generated hologram.

Two different setup arrangements were implemented to create CGH for SDM (e.g., MCF) and PIC applications.
