Mode Coupling Analysis of Hollow Ring-Core Fibers for OAM Transmission

We present an analytical and numerical description of coupling between OAM modes in hollow ring-core fibers affected by stress birefringence and ellipticity The analysis paves the way to a better modeling of propagation in these fibers.
