Abstract

In this Letter, we study the propagation of optical vortices (OVs) through the loop resonator (LR) on a multimode fiber. We demonstrate the existence of a special resonance, which is in the inversion of the topological charge of the transmitted OV. Near the resonance, the output orbital angular momentum (OAM) is sensitive to wavelength-scale variations of the LR’s optical path length, which can be used for super-efficient OAM control. We also show the feasibility of a combined wavelength and OAM division multiplexing in comb filters on such LRs.
