摘要：

In this paper, we propose a stable orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode fiber laser with an all-polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) structure based on a combination of two linearly polarized modes. The mode intensity ratio between the two linearly polarized modes can be adjusted by adopting a double-pump structure. A pair of polarization-maintaining long-period fiber gratings (PM-LPFGs) are used as a mode converter. The number of topological charges of the OAM mode beam can be tuned between +1 and 1 by stretching the fiber. By adopting an all-PMF structure, we can build an OAM mode fiber laser without a polarization controller and that is resistant to environmental disturbances. The purity of the OAM mode was approximately 93.6%. This stable and compact OAM mode fiber laser can be used as a laser source in practical applications and scientific research.
