Single-Photon Spin-Orbit Entangled States in Optical Fibers

Abstract

Even and odd vector modes in optical fibers are represented with linear combinations of orbital angular momentum modes, and considered as single-photon spin-orbit entangled states. It renders generating such states with fiber structures possible.
