Abstract
Multiple light beams are launched into a single optical fiber, each respective light beam with a corresponding signal. Each of the respective multi-beams are separated by launching each of the light at a different incidence angle and/or input position, into the optical fiber. In this way, each light beam is able to propagate independently according to its own trajectory inside the fiber. The resultant multi light beams propagate with respective counter cyclical orbital angular momentum with respective helical paths.
