Orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode-division multiplexing (MDM) has recently been under intense investigations as a new way to increase the capacity of fiber communication. In this paper, a two-layer Erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) for an OAM multiplexing system is proposed. The amplifier is based on the circular photonic crystal fiber (C-PCF), which can maintain a stable transmission for 14 OAM modes by a large index difference between the fiber core and the cladding. Further, the two-layer doped region can balance the amplification performance of different modes. The relationship between the performance and the parameters of the amplifier is analyzed numerically to optimize the amplifier design. The optimized amplifier can amplify 18 modes (14 OAM modes) simultaneously over the C-band with a differential mode gain (DMG) lower than 0.1 dB while keeping the modal gain over 23 dB and noise figure below 4 dB. Finally, the fabrication tolerance and feasibility are discussed. The result shows a relatively large fabrication tolerance in the OAM EDFA parameters.

The orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light is used for increasing the optical communication capacity in the mode division multiplexing (MDM) technique. A novel and simple structure of ring-core photonic crystal fiber (RC-PCF) is proposed in this paper. The ring core is doped by the Schott sulfur difluoride material and the cladding region is composed of fused silica with one layer of well-patterned air-holes. The guiding of Terahertz (THz) OAM beams with 58 OAM modes over 0.70 THz (0.20 THz–0.90 THz) frequency is supported by this proposed RC-PCF. The OAM modes are well-separated for their large refractive index difference above 10−4. The dispersion profile of each mode is varied in the range of 0.23–7.77 ps/THz/cm. The ultra-low confinement loss around 10−9 dB/cm and better mode purity up to 0.932 is achieved by this RC-PCF. For these good properties, the proposed fiber is a promising candidate to be applied in the THz OAM transmission systems with high feasibility and high capacity.
