A new type of ring photonic crystal fiber has proposed which can support 42 Orbital Angular Momentum(OAM)annular modes.The optical fiber is composed of a central air hole
an annular high refractive index layer and a cladding layer
which includes square air holes and circular air holes.We simulate and analyze the mode properties and propagation effects of OAM by finite-element analysis.The simulation results indicate that the mode index difference can be maintained above 3.45 ×10-3.Therefore
it can effectively reduce the modal coupling in the fiber with small dispersion values for all modes(the dispersion of HE2
1 is only 53.29 ps/(nm·km)).In addition
the optical energy is mainly concentrated in the high refractive index region
and the annular region does not need additional doping to obtain high refractive index.
