Establish multiple and robust communication channels through arbitrary complex optical media is demonstrated by using integrated photonic processors based on meshes of Mach-Zehnder interferometers. The receiver is capable of compensating for scintillation induced by atmospheric turbulence automatically, without any need of knowledge of the link. The processor is able to performs a physical Singular Value Decomposition operation and any other algebraic operation.
