All-fiber nanostructured gradient optics vortex beam converter

Hue Thi Nguyen et al.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the optical performance of a vortex beam converter utilizing nanostructured gradient index optical components. The converter is capable of generating high quality focused optical vortex from an input Gaussian beam without the need for additional external optical elements. Integration of a nanostructured lens allows precise control of the size and position of the focus of vortex beams while maintaining their quality. This research demonstrates the potential for using nanostructured gradient index micro-optical components in constructing complex optical systems that are fully compatible with fiber optics.

Fiber-based vortex beam source operating in a broadband or tunable mode

Marta Bernas et al.

Summary: We present a fiber-based optical vortex beam source that operates in broadband or tunable mode within the spectral range of 1100-1400 nm. The source generates vector vortices with total angular momenta of +2, 0, and -2 by converting the linearly polarized (LP11) modes of a two-mode birefringent PANDA fiber. The input power is provided by broadband supercontinuum or tunable Raman solitons generated in the LP11 polarization modes of a specially designed microstructured fiber. The experimental results confirm the high modal and polarization purities of the beams after successive transformations, and the vortex nature of the output beams is verified using shearing interferometry.

Generation, Transmission and Application of Orbital Angular Momentum in Optical Fiber: A Review

Minghao Ma et al.

Summary: Optical orbital angular momentum (OAM) has attracted attention in research due to its unique properties. Optical fibers are used in OAM supporting optical systems for their good propagation properties. Photonic crystal fiber, ring core fiber, fiber grating and other all-fiber systems that can support OAM modes in current research are summarized in the paper.

Rigorous modeling of twisted anisotropic optical fibers with transformation optics formalism

Maciej Napiorkowski et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that transformation optics formalism can rigorously model a wide range of twisted anisotropic fibers, revealing phenomena that cannot be predicted by analytical methods. The proposed approach effectively models the propagation characteristics of first-order eigenmodes in twisted and spun fibers, deriving equivalent electric permittivity tensors in the helical coordinate system.

Arbitrary polarization and orbital angular momentum generation based on spontaneously broken degeneracy in helically twisted ring-core photonic crystal fibers

Takeshi Fujisawa et al.

Summary: This study investigates the generation of OAM modes in twisted ring-core photonic crystal fibers, where arbitrary polarization and OAM states can be generated using geometric phase, and different topological charges of OAM light can be simultaneously generated with the same fiber structure by properly setting the period of the inversion. The proposed approach is effective for the generation of OAM modes with conventional fiber modes, with very small wavelength dependence compared to OAM generators based on long-period gratings.

Conversion of LP11 modes to vortex modes in a gradually twisted highly birefringent optical fiber

Marta Bernas et al.

Summary: By experimentally demonstrating the quasi-adiabatic conversion of LP11 modes to vortex modes in a twisted highly birefringent fiber with a gradually increasing twist rate, we have shown that the proposed method is broadband in nature due to its purely topological origin.
