Abstract: The evolutions of polarization and orbital angular momentum (OAM) states of light in helically twisted birefringent photonic crystal fibers (TB-PCFs) are analyzed. It is shown that a circular polarization (CP) component (S-3 of a Stokes parameter) is periodically excited when usual linearly polarized (LP) modes of PCF are launched. The excitation originates from a geometric phase in TB-PCFs. The S-3 excitation is larger for larger linear birefringence for a fixed twisting rate. If the linear birefringence is large enough, a CP filtering behavior can be seen in addition to the S-3 excitation. From the analytical consideration of the sign of the geometric phase, the TB-PCF with periodical inversion of twisting is proposed to generate arbitrary polarization state on the Poincare sphere. Next, an OAM state generation in multimode TB-PCFs is shown for higher-order LP mode input. By observing a far-field interference pattern from TB-PCF mixed with LP01 mode, a vortex associated with the OAM state can be seen. Similar to the single-mode case, by using periodical twisting inversion, efficient OAM generation is possible. These results indicate that by simply launching fiber's LP mode into TB-PCF, arbitrary polarization and OAM states can be generated, leading to a novel mechanism for the manipulation of the spatial state of light.
