Generation of the First-Order OAM Modes in Ring Fibers by Exerting Pressure Technology

We have proposed an effective method of generating the first-order orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes in ring fibers. The first-order OAM modes (<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">${\rm{L = \pm 1}}$</tex-math> </inline-formula>) can be represented as the l...

description We have proposed an effective method of generating the first-order orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes in ring fibers. The first-order OAM modes (<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">${\rm{L = \pm 1}}$</tex-math> </inline-formula>) can be represented as the linear superposition of the <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX"> ${\rm{HE}}_{{21}}^{{\rm{even}}}$</tex-math></inline-formula> mode and the <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX"> ${\rm{HE}}_{{21}}^{{\rm{odd}}}$</tex-math></inline-formula> mode. Through exerting pressure on the ring fiber by a leverage device, the fundamental mode <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">${\rm{H}}{{\rm{E}}_{{11}}}$</tex-math> </inline-formula> can be coupled into higher order mode <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX"> ${\rm{H}}{{\rm{E}}_{{21}}}$</tex-math></inline-formula>in broadband wavelength ranging from 1530 to 1600&#x00A0;nm. By adjusting the fiber polarization controller and the pressure value exerted on the fiber, both the positive ( <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">${\rm{L = + 1}}$</tex-math></inline-formula>) and negative (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${\rm{L = }} - {1}$</tex-math></inline-formula>) OAM modes can be generated separately. Moreover, we have demonstrated that the coupling efficiency from the fundamental mode to the first-order OAM modes at wavelength of 1550 nm can reach 67&#x0025;.
