Abstract. The problem of propagation of optical vortices in multimode fibers is considered. The structural changes experienced by the wave and ray surfaces in their transformation from the free space to a fiber medium are determined. The continuity equation is obtained for the flow of the vortex angular momentum in an unhomogeneous medium.
Keywords: optical vortex, multimode fiber, angular momentum, continuity equation.
