Optical Fibers for Orbital Angular Momentum comprehensively explores optical fibers for orbital angular momentum (OAM), covering fundamental principles, fiber structures, mode generation techniques, devices, applications, and future research directions. The book provides a structured and in-depth understanding of OAM in optical fibers where readers will learn the theoretical foundations, fiber structures supporting OAM modes, fabrication and characterization techniques, generation methods, and diverse applications. The book also addresses challenges and future research directions, equipping readers with knowledge to advance this rapidly evolving field.Introduces the fundamental concepts of orbital angular momentum (OAM), explaining its theoretical basis, mathematical framework, and key propertiesExplores OAM mode propagation in optical fibers, detailing fiber types that support OAM, challenges in maintaining mode purity, and experimental realizationsDiscusses fiber-based OAM generation techniques, analyzing periodic structures, coupling-induced methods, and other advanced generation strategiesExamines passive and active OAM fiber devices including multiplexers, demultiplexers, lasers, amplifiers, and isolatorsHighlights real-world applications of OAM fibers covering classical and quantum communications, sensing, imaging, and nonlinear optics

Workplace mistreatment is a burgeoning topic of interest, with the majority of workers having experienced it in some form. This book explores workplace ostracism and its negative effects on employee and organizational outcomes, such as employee attitudes, behaviors, and well-being. This edited volume defines workplace ostracism and examines how to differentiate ostracism from other type of workplace mistreatment, such as workplace incivility and interpersonal conflict. Among the questions it seeks to answer are: 1) what are the individual, relational, and contextual factors that influence employees’ workplace ostracism experiences; and 2) what constitutes ostracism in stigmatized populations, such as international students, immigrant workers, and older workers. Researchers in organizational behavior, I/O psychology, and the sociology of work will find this book to be a valuable resource.
