• TITLE: HG-LG Mode Conversion with Stressed 3-Mode Fibers under Polarization

  AUTHORS: Henning Soller

  KEYWORDS: Mode Conversion; Stress; Optical Fiber; Laguerre-Gaussian Laser Mode

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol.2 No.4, December 10, 2012

  ABSTRACT: We have coupled an upright HG mode into a fiber-optic waveguide and used the application of stress to generate a Laguerre-Gaussian laser mode. We have generalized previous results by McGloin et al. by using a polarized input beam, a true 3-mode fiber and by applying the stress on a stripped piece of the optical waveguide. These generalizations are necessary in order to perform quantum information experiments and obtain reliable information on the stress imposed on the optical fiber.
