Abstract
We investigate the orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode-generating process of a long-period onefold chiral fiber grating (L-1-CFG) based on a helically twisted hollow-core antiresonant fiber (HC-ARF). Taking the right-handed L-1-CFG for an example, we theoretically and experimentally prove that the first-order OAM+1 mode can be generated by only inputting a Gaussian beam. We fabricated three right-handed L-1-CFG samples based on the helically twisted HC-ARF with twist rates (α) of -0.42, -0.50, and -0.60 rad/mm, where the twisted HC-ARF with α of -0.42 rad/mm can achieve high OAM+1 mode purity of 94%. Subsequently, we present simulated and experimental transmission spectra at the C-band, and sufficient modulation depths were obtained at wavelengths of 1550 nm and 1561.5 nm in the experiment.
