Popis: We propose an effective approach to generate tunable orbital angular momentum (OAM) beam based on all-fiber fused coupler consisting of a single mode fiber (SMF) and a two-mode fiber. The fundamental mode in the SMF is directly coupled to the LP11 mode group (TE0,1, $\text {HE}^{\text {even,odd}}_{2,1}$ , TM0,1) by appropriately phase matching the modes in the fiber coupler. The experimental results demonstrate that the OAM beam is produced by combining $\text {HE}^{\text {even}}_{2,1}$ and TE0,1 (or $\text{HE}^{\text {odd}}_{2,1}$ and TM0,1) with a $\pi $ /2 phase shift and the OAM topological charge could be tuned from $l = -1$ to $l =+1$ by adjusting a polarizer set at the output end of fiber.
