TLDR
It is predicted theoretically and registered experimentally that the speckle pattern or a laser beam transmitted through a multimode fiber undergoes an angular shirt from the switching or the chirality or the polarization.
Abstract
It is predicted theoretically and registered experimentally that the speckle pattern of a laser beam transmitted through a multimode fiber undergoes an angular shift from the switching of the chirality of the polarization. The effect may be considered as the result of the spin-orbit interaction for the photon in the inhomogeneous medium.

Goos-Hanchen and Imbert-Fedorov beam shifts: an overview

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider reflection and transmission of polarized paraxial light beams at a plane dielectric interface and describe the field transformations taking into account a finite beam width are described based on the plane wave representation and geometric rotations.
