“…This limit in efficiency negates many of the potential advantages that the large state space of OAM may have offered. More complicated holograms can be designed where different input modes produce Gaussian beams in different angular orders [143][144][145]; however, in all of these the incident energy is still split between the outputs, leading again to an approximate 1/N limit in efficiency.…”

As they travel through space, some light beams rotate. Such light beams have angular momentum. There are two particularly important ways in which a light beam can rotate: if every polarization vector rotates, the light has spin; if the phase structure rotates, the light has orbital angular momentum (OAM), which can be many times greater than the spin. Only in the past 20 years has it been realized that beams carrying OAM, which have an optical vortex along the axis, can be easily made in the laboratory. These light beams are able to spin microscopic objects, give rise to rotational frequency shifts, create new forms of imaging systems, and behave within nonlinear material to give new insights into quantum optics

“…Testing for a large number of possible states requires a sequence of holograms, thereby negating the potential advantage of the large OAM state space. More sophisticated holograms can test for multiple states, but only with an efficiency approximately equal to the reciprocal of the number of states [5,13]. For classical light beams, the OAM state can be readily inferred by the interference of the beam with a plane wave and counting the number of spiral fringes in the resulting pattern [14].…”

Efficient Sorting of Orbital Angular Momentum States of Light

We present a method to efficiently sort orbital angular momentum (OAM) states of light using two static optical elements. The optical elements perform a Cartesian to log-polar coordinate transformation, converting the helically phased light beam corresponding to OAM states into a beam with a transverse phase gradient. A subsequent lens then focuses each input OAM state to a different lateral position. We demonstrate the concept experimentally by using two spatial light modulators to create the desired optical elements, applying it to the separation of eleven OAM states.

Abstract. The operator of the optical beam propagation through turbulent environment using the Fresnel approximation is being considered. The correlation function of random field describing inhomogeneous medium is given in the form of Gaussian function. The process of random field modeling using the Fourier transform is demonstrated. A selective correlation function is calculated, the deviation from the preset one is defined. The intensity distributions after propagation of optical beams in free space and in a random medium are given. As the input beam such optical distributions as Hermite -Gauss modes, rectangular pulse, and vortex beams were considered.
