Abstract
In this paper, we propose and design a multi-orbital-angular-momentum multi-ring air-core fiber, which has seven high-index rings with each ring supporting 62 radially fundamental OAM modes across C and L bands (from 1530 nm to 1625 nm), i.e. 434 OAM modes in total. The designed fiber features >4×10-4 intra-ring modal indices difference for OAM modes with the same topological charge l in a ring across the C and L bands. Moreover, it can keep <-52 dB crosstalk between the OAM modes in the adjacent rings at 1550 nm, and <-24 dB crosstalk across C and L bands after 100-km fiber propagation. This kind of seven-air-core-ring fiber would be a robust candidate for transmitting efficient OAM modes and boosting the capacity of optical fiber communications systems.
