Focal beam structuring by triple mixing of optical vortex lattices

Abstract On-demand generation and reshaping of arrays focused laser beams is highly desired in many areas science technology. In this work, we present a versatile approach for beam structuring the focal plane lens by triple mixing square and/or hexagonal optical vortex lattices (OVLs). artificial far field input Gaussian reshaped into ordered bright with flat phase profiles. This remarkable, since peaks are surrounded hundreds OVs their dark cores two-dimensional dislocations. Numerical simulations experimental evidences shown, including broad discussion some possible scenarios such mixing: square-shaped OVLs, as well two combined cases square-hexagonal-hexagonal square-square-hexagonal OVLs. The particular ordering distributions OV on used spatial light modulators found to affect orientation structures ruled OVL. Reliable control parameters creation respective lattice node spacings. presented flexible, easily realizable using single modulator, thus accessible laboratories.
