Two-dimensional tunable orbital angular momentum generation using a vortex fiber
Abstract:
We demonstrate the two-dimensional tunable orbital angular momentum (OAM) generation in a ring-core (vortex) fiber. The LP11 mode generated by an all fiber fused coupler is coupled into a vortex fiber. Because the vector modes of the LP11 mode group in the vortex fiber are no longer degenerate, the mode status will change between linearly polarized modes (LPMs) and complex OAM modes periodically during propagation. The generated OAM can be tuned smoothly by filtering the mixed mode with different polarization directions or changing the wavelength at a certain polarization directions. The two-dimensional tuning of OAM from l=-1 to l=+1 is experimentally demonstrated in an all fiber OAM generator.
