Engineering of orbital angular momentum supermodes in coupled optical waveguides
In this work we demonstrate the existence of orbital angular momentum (OAM) bright and dark supermodes in a three-evanescently coupled cylindrical waveguides system. Bright and dark supermodes are characterized by their coupling and decoupling from one of the waveguides, respectively. In addition, we demonstrate that complex couplings between modes of different waveguides appear naturally due t...
متن کاملStable coupled conjugate solitary waves in optical fibers.
Four-wave mixing of an intense continuous-wave pump beam with an ultrashort soliton signal in an optical fiber is theoretically analyzed. A novel class of stable two-color coupled solitary waves is found. These vector parametric solitons represent the optimal frequency conversion of an ultrashort pulse.
متن کاملLocalization of angular momentum in optical waves propagating through turbulence.
This is the first in a series of papers demonstrating that photons with orbital angular momentum can be created in optical waves propagating through distributed turbulence. The scope of this first paper is much narrower. Here, we demonstrate that atmospheric turbulence can impart non-trivial angular momentum to beams and that this non-trivial angular momentum is highly localized. Furthermore, c...
متن کاملAngular momentum in evanescent waves
We quantize the angular momentum of the electromagnetic field in a linear medium. We consider the interaction of an atom with an evanescent wave. We discuss the transfer of angular momentum in such a wave in relation to some recent experiments.
متن کاملControl of orbital angular momentum of light with optical fibers.
We present a fiber-based method for generating vortex beams with a tunable value of orbital angular momentum from -1ℏ to +1ℏ per photon. We propose a new (to our knowledge) method to determine the modal content of the fiber and demonstrate high purity of the desired vortex state (97% after 20 m, even after bends and twists). This method has immediate utility for the multitude of applications in...
