Description
Summary:In this paper we have studied influence of attenuation on conversion processes of the fundamental mode (FM) in multihelicoidal optical fibers (MHF) in the vicinity of the point of accidental spectrum degeneracy within the framework of the scalar approximation. To this end, we have obtained expressions for modes of the MHF, which consist of the FM and an optical vortex (OV), and shown that conversion of the FM into the OV takes place. The difference in the attenuation coefficients for the partial fields of MHF’s modes leads to deterioration in the conversion process even with an ideal system’s tuning. At sufficiently large values of attenuation coefficients the conversion of the incoming FM into the vortex vanishes. Also we have shown the presence of exceptional point (EP) in the spectra of modes of the MHF and demonstrated enhanced sensitivity of the fiber in the vicinity of the EP to perturbations.
