Simultaneous control of orbital angular momentum and beam profile in two-mode polarization-maintaining fiber.

چکیده
We report simultaneous control of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) and beam profile of vortex beams generated in two-mode polarization-maintaining optical fiber. Two higher-order eigenmodes of the fiber are combined to form optical vortices. Reduced coherence between the fiber modes decreases the mode purity. Varying the coherence of the fiber modes changes the average OAM while maintaining a constant annular intensity profile. Additionally, a donut mode has been shown to be insensitive to bends and twists in the fiber.

Continuously tunable orbital angular momentum generation using a polarization-maintaining fiber.
We demonstrate the generation of orbital angular momentum (OAM) in a two-mode polarization-maintaining (PM) optical fiber. We combine two linearly polarized modes of PM fiber to generate linearly polarized optical vortex beams with OAM. The average OAM can be finely varied by changing the phase between modes. We have quantitatively measured the resulting OAM to vary between ±1ℏ per photon while...
متن کاملStructuring Light by Concentric-Ring Patterned Magnetic Metamaterial Cavities.
Ultracompact and tunable beam converters pose a significant potential for modern optical technologies ranging from classical and quantum communication to optical manipulation. Here we design and demonstrate concentric-ring patterned structures of magnetic metamaterial cavities capable of tailoring both polarization and phase of light by converting circularly polarized light into a vector beam w...
متن کاملPolarization versus spatial characteristics of optical beams at a planar isotropic interface.
Three-dimensional monochromatic optical beams of uniform polarization interacting with a planar boundary between two homogeneous, isotropic, and lossless media are analyzed. Generalized Fresnel transmission and reflection coefficients for beam spectra are given. Interrelations induced by cross-polarization coupling between beam profile and phase and beam polarization, or between spin and orbita...
متن کاملMode division multiplexing using an orbital angular momentum mode sorter and MIMO-DSP over a graded-index few-mode optical fibre
Mode division multiplexing (MDM)- using a multimode optical fiber's N spatial modes as data channels to transmit N independent data streams - has received interest as it can potentially increase optical fiber data transmission capacity N-times with respect to single mode optical fibers. Two challenges of MDM are (1) designing mode (de)multiplexers with high mode selectivity (2) designing mode (...
متن کاملIntegrated multi vector vortex beam generator.
A novel method to generate and manipulate vector vortex beams in an integrated, ring resonator based geometry is proposed. We show numerically that a ring resonator, with an appropriate grating, addressed by a vertically displaced access waveguide emits a complex optical field. The emitted beam possesses a specific polarization topology, and consequently a transverse intensity profile and orbit...
