Abstract
We propose an effective approach to generate tunable orbital angular momentum (OAM) beam based on all-fiber fused coupler consisting of a single mode fiber (SMF) and a two-mode fiber. The fundamental mode in the SMF is directly coupled to the LP <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">11</sub> mode group (TE <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0,1</sub> , HE <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2,1</sub> <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">even,odd</sup> , TM <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0,1</sub> ) by appropriately phase matching the modes in ,the fiber coupler. The experimental results demonstrate that the OAM beam is produced by combining HEeven 2,1 and TE <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0,1</sub> (or HE <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2,1</sub> <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">odd</sup> and TM <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0,1</sub> ) with a π/2 phase shift and the OAM topological charge could be tuned from l = -1 to l = +1 by adjusting a polarizer set at the output end of fiber.
