Abstract:
In this paper we study the transmission of higher-order modes, including optical vortices (OVs), through a bus fiber evanescently coupled with a vertical array of ring resonators (VAR), which form a vertically stacked multi-ring resonator. It is shown that the OV transmission curves have a characteristic structure that we explain by the manifestation of the band structure of an infinite stack of coupled ring resonators. We demonstrate a fundamental possibility of using VARs as elements of delay lines for fiber-optic communications using orbital angular momentum. It is shown that the VAR is capable of serving as a delay line element for even and odd Laguerre–Gauss modes.

Keywords:
optical fiber, torsional mechanical stresses, dispersion, optical vortex.
