  Teleportation plays an important role in the communication of quantum
information between the nodes of a quantum network and is viewed as an
essential ingredient for long-distance Quantum Cryptography. We describe a
method to teleport the quantum information carried by a photon in a
superposition of a number $d$ of light modes (a "qudit") by the help of $d$
additional photons based on transcription. A qudit encoded into a single
excitation of $d$ light modes (in our case Laguerre-Gauss modes which carry
orbital angular momentum) is transcribed to $d$ single-rail photonic qubits,
which are spatially separated. Each single-rail qubit consists of a
superposition of vacuum and a single photon in each one of the modes. After
successful teleportation of each of the $d$ single-rail qubits by means of
"quantum scissors" they are converted back into a qudit carried by a single
photon which completes the teleportation scheme.
