Abstract:High intense optical vortex pulses, exhibiting an orbital angular momentum, have potentially to be applied in various fields, such as optical tweezers, laser micro-fabrication, and laser acceleration. Several researchers have successfully demonstrated ways to produce vortex outputs through mode-conversion in an optical fiber, including a stressed optical fiber as well as a hollow fiber. However, they used mostly a passive fiber as well as a continuous-wave laser. In this paper, we present the production of int… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
