Abstract
We calculate the intrinsic spin and extrinsic orbital angular momentum densities of an electromagnetic plane wave propagating in a helically wound optical fiber. The geometrical phase shift of the extrinsic angular momentum density of light traveling in such a fiber is derived analytically and discussed in comparison with that of the intrinsic angular momentum density.
