The Effect of the Spin and Orbital Parts of the Poynting Vector on Light Localization in Solid-Core Micro-Structured Optical Fibers

The optical properties of solid-core micro-structured optical fibers (SC MOFs) have been studied for a long time. The process of the energy outflow of the core modes has always been associated with the process of constructive interference of the core modes fields under reflection from the photonic crystal cladding. In this paper, we want to offer a new look at the light localization in the core of SC MOFs related to the behavior of spin and orbital parts of the Poynting vector of these core modes and singularities arising in it. Such an approach can help in forming a better understanding of the process of the core modes energy leakage and also in the creation of SC MOFs with a simplified design and low losses.
