In the last decade, the vortex beams have received lots of attention for their orbital angular momentum.When they are applied to optical fiber communication field,the data channels will increase and information propagation speed will be effectively improved. Recently, researchers have shown the capabilities of long length stably propagation, nonlinear frequency conversion and mode division multiplexing of vortex modes in a ring fiber. Due to the photonic crystal fiber(PCF) having very flexible design degrees of freedom, it will enable a wide range of propagation properties. In this paper, a SiO2 air-hole ring PCF is proposed for separation and propagation of optical vortex modes.By using COMSOL Multiphysics software,the vortex modes(TE01, HE21± and TM01) are simulated and calculated. The differences in effective refractive index between them are 4.59×10-4 and 3.62×10-4 respectively. One can analyze the propagation properties of vortex beams in the ring PCF by changing the size of first layer air hole radius and air hole pitch. When the incident light wavelength of TE01 mode ranges from 1650 nm to 1950 nm, this ring PCF can achieve a total dispersion variation between 44.18 to 45.83 ps·nm-1·km-1, which is tend to be flat. When incident light wavelength is 1550 nm, the nonlinear coefficient of TE01 mode vortex light is 1.37 W-1·km-1. Due to the fact that long wavelength light is easier to leakage through the cladding than the short wavelength light, the confinement loss increases with the wavelength. When incident light wavelength is 2000 nm, there is still an eight-orders-of-magnitude of the low confinement loss. Theoretically, flat dispersion and low loss vortex beams in this fiber can be beneficial to propagating stably, and the vortex modes lay the foundation for long distance propagation in the optical fiber. In the future, this ring PCF will be used in optical fiber communication field and applications in aspects such as continuous spectrum research, which can make it have immense advantage over traditional fibers.
