“…A simple qualitative OAM identification is given by the diffraction at a triangular aperture [31]. Other methods include the rotational frequency shift [32,33], dove prism interferometers [34,35], a circular array of coherent receivers [36], application of a nonlinear interferometer [37], and sorters transforming the OAM to transverse momentum with specific refractive elements [38][39][40][41] that provide robust and efficient sorting of OAM states in multimode fields even at the single photon level [42]. For micromanipulation of particles, however, not only the detection of single OAM states is of interest, but also the distribution of the OAM, the OAM density.…”
