This article describes an experimental study of the optical vortex formation using beams reflected from a combination of two cube-corner reflectors with a special interference phase-shifting coating. As predicted earlier, if arranged properly, these cube-corner reflectors create a spatial polarization structure, that can be called an optical vortex, since the plane of oscillations of thе vector E rotates with azimuth variation in the transverse plane. Our previous studies concluded that such configuration works as intended, however only near-field images were obtained. This time we preset experimental results in the far field.
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.
