Abstract

A dual-ring photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is proposed, which not only supports the stable transmission of orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes but also deftly mitigates interference of mode coupling between the two rings. This fiber design possesses two concentric ring-cores and claddings, each constructed from distinct materials, effectively functioning as independent OAM channels. Importantly, the absence of significant mode coupling between the OAM modes of the two ring-cores guarantees unhindered transmission of the dual rings. Remarkably, the outer ring can accommodate 82 OAM modes of transmission and the inner ring can accommodate 34 OAM modes of transmission. High mode quality (>94.13%) is observed for all OAM modes in both inner and outer rings at wavelengths from 1.5 to 1.6 μm. This special design ensures that the modes in the outer ring have excellent performance and also maintains the modes in the inner ring as unaffected by the outer ring to the greatest extent.
