Orbital angular momentum (OAM) beams, characterized by the helical phase wavefront, have received significant interest in various areas of study. There are many methods to generate OAM beams, which can be roughly divided into two types: spatial methods and fiber methods. As a natural shaper of OAM beams, the fibers exhibit unique merits, namely, miniaturization and a low insertion loss. In this paper, we review the recent advances in fiber OAM mode generation systems, in both the interior and exterior of the beams. We introduce the basic concepts of fiber modes and the generation and detection theories of OAM modes. In addition, fiber systems based on different nuclear devices are introduced, including the long-period fiber grating, the mode-selective coupler, microstructural optical fiber, and the photonic lantern. Finally, the key challenges and prospects for fiber OAM mode systems are discussed.

AbstractMode-division multiplexing (MDM) is a promising technology for increasing the data-carrying capacity of a single few-mode optical fiber. The flexible mode manipulation would be highly desired in a robust MDM network. Recently, orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes have received wide attention as a new spatial mode basis. In this paper, we firstly proposed a long period fiber grating (LPFG) system to realize mode conversions between the higher order LP core modes in four-mode fiber. Based on the proposed system, we, for the first time, demonstrate the controllable all-fiber generation and conversion of the higher order LP core modes to the first and second order circularly polarized OAM beams with all the combinations of spin and OAM. Therefore, the proposed LPFG system can be potentially used as a controllable higher order OAM beam switch and a physical layer of the translating protocol from the conventional LP modes communication to the OAM modes communication in the future mode carrier telecommunication system and light calculation protocols.

Optical orbital angular momentum (OAM) has become a hot research topic because of its unique properties due to its spiral distribution of phases. The production and transmission of OAM has also become a necessary condition for effective use of OAM. As an optical waveguide with good propagation properties, optical fibers are used in optical systems supporting OAM. This paper introduces the OAM generation and transmission system based on fiber, summarizes the current photonic crystal fiber, ring core fiber, fiber grating and other all-fiber systems that can support OAM modes, and explains some experimental principles. Finally, an outlook on OAM generation or transmission devices for all-fiber systems is presented, providing a useful reference for future related research.
