AB We present a theoretical study about spatial mode multiplexing/demultiplexing (mux/demux) without theoretical losses by means of interferometry with selective control of the Gouy phase of optical beams, that is, Gouy phase interferometry (GPI). Different Gouy phase values can be obtained by inserting appropriate optical systems at each arm of an interferometer. Thus, spatial mode mux/demux operations of strategic interest in optical communications with few-mode optical fibers are implemented by means of constructive interference and regardless of the parity and separability of the optical beams. Consequently, unachievable mux/demux by interferometry based on image inversion methods becomes possible with GPI. This kind of operation can also be interesting for optical sensors, optical metrology, image processing, and so on.
