All-Fiber OAM Amplifier With High Purity and Broadband Spectrum Gain Based on Fused Taper Vortex-Beam Coupler

All-fiber orbital angular momentum (OAM) amplifier with high purity and broadband spectrum gain based on a fused taper vortex-beam coupler (VBC) has been studied. Active and passive few-mode fibers (FMFs), which have similar geometric parameters, are fabricated. A VBC using a single-mode fiber and a...
