Abstract

In this paper, a wide supercontinuum of multi-order orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes is generated theoretically in the mid-infrared region based on a ring-core As2S3-based photonic crystal fiber (PCF). This PCF supports six OAM modes with two orders and exhibits an ultra-high effective refractive index difference of 10-2 between the vortex modes. After customizing the nonlinear coefficient and dispersion, all the supported OAM modes can be used for wide-band supercontinuum (>3100 nm) generation at low input pulse power of 1000 W. In particular, the supercontinuum of OAM1,1 mode covers a wavelength range from 2860 nm to 6120 nm at −40 dB level. This work has great potentials in the OAM-based mid-infrared source in optical communication and sensor systems.
