Phase-shift interference-based wavefront characterization for orbital angular momentum modes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wavefront characterization for orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes is demonstrated using quadrature phase-shift interference. The phase fronts and intensity profiles of OAM(-2), OAM(-4), OAM(-6), and OAM(-8) are measured. Wavefront correlations between the experimental results and the pure Laguerre-Gaussian modes are calculated to evaluate the measurement. The measured results are in reasonable agreement with the anticipated results based on simulations.

Study on Generation of Higher Order Orbital Angular Momentum Modes and Parameters Affecting the Vortex
In this manuscript, higher-order Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) modes and parameters affecting vortex in the radiation pattern have been studied. A uniform circular array resonating at 10 GHz frequency is formed using eight identical rectangular patch antennas. Three uniform circular arrays are analyzed, simulated, and fabricated for OAM modes 0, +1, and -1 respectively. The higher-order OAM mo...
متن کاملIntegrated optical vortex beam receivers.
A simple and ultra-compact integrated optical vortex beam receiver device is presented. The device is based on the coupling between the optical vortex modes and whispering gallery modes in a micro-ring resonator via embedded angular gratings, which provides the selective reception of optical vortex modes with definitive total angular momentum (summation of spin and orbital angular momentum) thr...
متن کاملReconfigurable orbital angular momentum and polarization manipulation of 100 Gbit/s QPSK data channels.
We demonstrate reconfigurable orbital angular momentum (OAM) and polarization manipulation of OAM- and polarization-multiplexed 100 Gbit/s quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) data channels. Each data channel's OAM value and its polarization state can be arbitrarily changed by taking advantage of the unique wavefront profile of OAM beams using liquid crystal on silicon-based spatial light modul...
متن کاملMeasuring the complex orbital angular momentum spectrum and spatial mode decomposition of structured light beams
Light beams carrying orbital angular momentum are key resources in modern photonics. In many applications, the ability to measure the complex spectrum of structured light beams in terms of these fundamental modes is crucial. Here we propose and experimentally validate a simple method that achieves this goal by digital analysis of the interference pattern formed by the light beam and a reference...
متن کاملExistence and Absence of Geometric Phases Due to Mode Transformations of High-Order Modes
We study the geometric phase that is acquired when the second-order mode of an optical beam undergoes a cyclic transformation. We ̄nd that a geometric phase appears when the initial and intermediate modes have di®erent quantities of orbital angular momentum. The phase is similar to the one measured previously for transformations of ̄rst-order modes. However, we ̄nd no accumulated geometric phas...
