Abstract

The spectrum of modes of cylindrical optical fiber is determined analytically by solving the three-component field Maxwell’s equations using the perturbation analysis. The frequency shift of modes in a graded-index fiber due to nonparaxiality and polarization effects is demonstrated. The degeneracy lifting of modes with distinct orbital angular momentum (OAM) and polarization (spin) but the same total angular momentum due to the spin-orbit (vector) and tensor forces is shown. Generalized Stokes vectors consisting of nine real parameters in terms of irreducible spherical and Cartesian tensor operators are considered to describe the 3D electromagnetic field. Vector and tensor polarization degrees are proposed to characterize the polarized beam.
