Abstract
This paper starts with the orbital angular momentum (OAM) eigenmode of few-mode-magneto-optical fibers (FM-MOFs) to reveal the mechanism of magnetically controlling the modal field of linear polarization (LP) modes. The correctness of the theoretical analysis is verified by simulation. Our theoretical analysis shows that the rotation angles of the modal pattern and polarization of the modes are respectively proportional to the difference and sum of the magneto-optical coupling coefficients between the eigen OAM components. Therefore, the magnetic field sensitivity of polarization direction is greatly higher than that of modal pattern. Based on the FM-MOFs, a novel magneto-optical mode rotator is put forward for fast controllability and precise repeatability, with potential application to mode division multiplexing systems.
