Characterizing vortex beam with angular-double-slit interference    [PDF]

Ruifeng Liu, Junling Long, Feiran Wang, Yunlong Wang, Pei Zhang, Hong Gao, Fuli Li
The Fraunhofer diffraction intensity distribution of Laguerre-Gaussian beam is studied in an angular-double-slit interferometer. We demonstrate that the spiral phase structure of vortex light can be clearly revealed in this interference geometry, and it gives us an efficient way to distinguish different order of Laguerre-Gaussian beams. This angular-double-slit interference gives us a better understanding to the nature of orbital angular momentum and the interpretation of vortex beams interference phenomenon.
