The recent years have witnessed a growing interest in the possibility of enhancing the information transfer per unit bandwidth by exploiting the Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) of light in both free-space and guided scenarios. In the proposed paper, the propagation of suitable OAM superpositions of waveguide eigenmodes in guiding structures with a circular symmetry is analyzed both theoretically and with the aid of the software COMSOL Multiphysics®, leading to the estimation of the power attenuation constants due to the finite conductivity of the metallic guide walls.
