Abstract:By taking advantage of spiral petal-like zone plates, we have recently demonstrated that a spiral element's geometric shape impacts its charge. Keeping it in mind, we aim to control the topological charge of a vortex using phase modification of a spiral zone plate without transforming its geometrical shape. This is achieved by apodizing a spiral zone plate having p spiral zones with a radial grating with spatial frequency m. Having implemented some gratings with different m, we realized that an optical vortex … Show more
