We present electrically controlled wavefront modulators that simultaneously focus and introduce vorticity to an incident beam. These modulators are made out of spiral-shaped 180 degrees ferroelectric domains in lithium niobate; they have a virtually instantaneous response time, withstand high power and can be used throughout the transparency region of the material (0.4 - 5 microm).
