Abstract:
The paper considers the use of a multi-order phase binary diffractive optical element, matched with 32 (duplicated) LP-modes of a stepped fiber with the cutoff number V = 15, as a filter for analyzing the light fields at the output of such a fiber.

Keywords:
diffractive filter, step-index, fiber beam, multi-order phase, diffractive optical element, DOE, LP-mode, light field.
