Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) Mode Mixing in a Bent Step Index Fiber in Perturbation Theory

Within the framework of perturbation theory, we explore in detail the mixing of orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes due to a fiber bend in a step-index multimode fiber. Using a scalar wave equation, we develop a complete set of analytic expressions for modemixing, including those for the 2&#x03...
