In this article the propagation of soliton-like vortexes in the optical segment of Radio-over-Fiber system is considered. The approach is based on solution of nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NSE) for Kerr-type nonlinear medium. A numerical NSE solution for vortex solitons was obtained; simulation of the soliton-like vortexes propagation over an optical fiber was performed. Moreover, a phase-amplitude filter forming optical signals with a set orbital angular momentum state and polarization conserving during propagation through an optical fiber was simulated. The calculation of amplitude-phase filter was conducted based on spinor representation of Maxwell’s equations.
