All-fiber spatial profile and polarization controller

Abstract

The spin and orbital angular momentum of photons can perturb during propagation in few mode optical fiber, and hence, in the receiver, perturbations must be adjusted. For polarization adjustment, polarization controllers have been developed previously. In this paper, we show that in the presence of external effects such as tension and tortion, the entanglement between the different degrees of freedom of a photon does not change. A device for simultaneous adjustment of polarization and spatial distribution in few mode fiber is proposed. In addition to modification, this device can also be used to produce different modes in fiber.
