AI Article Synopsis
- This study builds on a previous method for measuring orbital angular momentum (OAM) states of light, which involves converting helically phased beams into tilted plane waves.
- The authors investigate how well this method works for superpositions of OAM states, particularly focusing on the modal content of noninteger OAM states.
- Additionally, the research examines beams generated using a Heaviside phase plate in relation to these measurements.
Article Abstract
We recently reported on a method for measuring orbital angular momentum (OAM) states of light based on the transformation of helically phased beams to tilted plane waves [Phys. Rev. Lett.105, 153601 (2010)]. Here we consider the performance of such a system for superpositions of OAM states by measuring the modal content of noninteger OAM states and beams produced by a Heaviside phase plate.
