We propose a ring resonator-based orbital angular momentum carrying vortex beam generator design with high vertical directional emission efficiency. By adopting a vertically asymmetric grating structure in the ring resonator, optimized for enhanced vertical emission, an emission efficiency in one direction reaches as high as 78%, exceeding the 50% theoretical limit of previously designed vertically symmetric grating-assisted ring resonator-based structures.

We propose a photonic quasi-crystal fiber (PQF) for supporting up to 14 orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes with low and ultra-flat dispersion characteristics over the C+L bands. The designed PQF which consists of a large hollow center and quasi structural small air holes in the clad region exhibits low confinement losses and a large effective index separation (>$10^{-4}$) between the vector modes. This proposed fiber could potentially be exploited for mode division multiplexing and other OAM mode applications in fibers.

We demonstrate an acousto-optic mode converter based on a tapered optical fiber to efficiently generate orbital angular momentum states of light. In our scheme an acoustic wave is deployed to the waist of tapered optical fiber where two degenerate $HE_{21}$ modes leading to +1 and -1 orbital angular momentum eigen-modes are resonantly excited. The excitation of $TM_{01}$ and $TE_{01}$ modes is suppressed by enlarging the intermodal index difference between near-degenerate spatial modes. Numerical calculation for optimization of the taper diameter is provided. The experimental characterization of generated states is performed by analyzing the output far-field pattern and the spatial interference fringes with a uniform reference beam.

Generating electromagnetic waves with Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) properties is a fast-growing research subject in both radio and optics. This paper describes the generation of OAM carrying waves using a circular array of rectangular planar monopole antennas. The proposed design combines simplicity, compactness, and most importantly very wideband of operating frequencies (about 20-160 GHz, bandwidth ratio about 1:8) which makes it suitable for future applications.

In this paper, we propose a convenient microwave orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode generation and multiplexing method operating in the 18 GHz frequency band, based on a $2{\times}2$ uniform circular array and a $4{\times}4$ Butler matrix. The three OAM modes -1, 0, and +1 were generated and verified using spatial S-parameter measurements; the measured back-to-back mode isolation was greater than 17 dB in the full 17 GHz to 19 GHz range. However, the radiated OAM beam centers were slightly dislocated and varied with both frequency and the mode index, because of the non-ideal characteristics of the Butler matrix. This resulted in mode isolation degradation and transmission distance limitations.

본 논문에서는 기존의 l=1 궤도 각운동량 모드에 대해서만 연구가 이루어지던 광 도파로 구조를 개선하여 반도체 박막 공정으로 제작이 가능하고, l=1 및 l=2 궤도 각운동량 모드를 전송할 수 있는 광 집적회로용 실리콘 광 도파로를 유한차분법을 통하여 설계하였다. 설계된 광 도파로는 여러 층의 실리콘과 실리콘 산화막으로 이루어져 있으며, 두 고유 모드의 합성을 통하여 궤도 각운동량을 가지는 모드를 구현한다. 제안된 광 도파로의 2차 궤도 각운동량 모드의 전기장 분포를 통한 궤도 각운동량 계산 결과, 궤도 각운동량 양자수가 1차 및 2차 각각 l= 0.9642, 1.8766으로 이론치에 매우 근접한 값을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 실리콘 기반의 광 집적회로에서 외부 전압 조절을 통해 |l|=1 궤도 각운동량 모드의 궤도 각양자수를 변조할 수 있는 전기 광학 변조기를 설계하였다. 설계된 전기 광학 변조기는 위치별로 서로 다른 도핑농도를 가지는 실리콘 코어와 실리콘 산화막으로 구성되어 있으며, 도핑농도의 분포를 통해 궤도 각운동량 모드를 구성하는 두 고유 모드의 전파 손실과 유효굴절률 변화량을 조절할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 변조기는 역전압을 기준으로 -0.33V에서는 궤도 각운동량 모드의 부호가 유지되는 광도파로로, 10V에서는 궤도 각양자수 부호 변환기로서 동작한다. 고유 모드 확장법으로 계산한 신호변조 후의 전기장 분포를 통해 얻은 궤도 각양자수는 두 동작모드에서 모두 |l|>0.92 으로 매우 높은 궤도 각운동량 모드 순도를 보였다.

We present a statistical analysis on the spin-orbit alignment of dark matter halo pairs in cosmological simulations. The alignment is defined as the angular concurrence between the halo spin vector (${\vec{S}}$) and the orbital angular momentum vector (${\vec{L}}$) of the major companion. We identify interacting halo pairs with the mass ratios from 1:1 to 1:3, with the halo masses of 10.8 < $Log(M_{halo}/M_{sun}$) < 13.0, and with the separations smaller than a sum of their virial radii ($R_{12}<R_{1,vir}+R_{2,vir}$). Based on the total energy ($E_{12}$), the pairs are classified into flybys ($E_{12}$ > 0) and mergers ($E_{12}{\leq}0$). By measuring the angle (${\theta}_{SL}$) between ${\vec{S}}$ and ${\vec{L}}$, we confirm a strong spin-orbit alignment signal such that the halo spin is preferentially aligned with the orbital angular momentum of the major companion. We find that the signal of the spin-orbit alignment for the flyby is weaker than that for the merger. We also find an unexpected excess signal of the spin-orbit alignment at $cos{\theta}_{SL}{\sim}0.25$. Both the strength of the spin-orbit alignment and the degree of the excess depend only on the environment. We conclude that the halo spin is determined by the accretion in a preferred direction set by the ambient environment.
