Abstract
Spin-orbit interactions (SOIs) of circularly polarized beam and circularly polarized vortex beam during paraxial propagation in a radial gradient-index (GRIN) fiber are analyzed using the generalized Huygens-Fresnel principle and the GRIN fiber's ABCD matrix. SAM is only associated with polarized light helicity and OAM is only associated with topological charge m. SAM and OAM do not crosstalk or convert between each other; SOIs did not occur at the GRIN fiber's focal plane. SOIs of partially coherent circularly polarized beam and partially coherent circularly polarized vortex beam in the GRIN fiber are also studied and show the same characteristics as the perfectly polarized beam.
