摘要

We propose three mode converters based on coupling of the fundamental mode and the first group higher-order modes in fiber tapers, angled fiber facets, and transversely dislocated fibers, respectively. The insertion loss and coupling efficiency of the fiber tapers are 0.541 dB and 10.6% respectively, which are much better than those of the angled fiber facets (2.4 dB and 2.9%) or the transversely dislocated fibers (1.2 dB and 5.6%). Cylindrical vector beams are delivered from an erbium-doped fiber laser after separately incorporating the mode converters into the cavity. The output spectra of three lasers are located at 1548.7 nm with the same 3-dB bandwidth of 0.03 nm, and spatial distributions are switchable between radially and azimuthally polarized states by adjusting the incident polarization state of the fundamental mode. The linear-cavity all-fiber lasers are capable of generating flexible and cost-effective cylindrical vector beams, which are quite attractive for fiber-based sensing and communications.
