Figures & Tables

Fig. 1. Schematic diagrams of the experimental scheme. (a) The proof-of-principle experimental setup. L1∼2 are lenses for expanding and collimation. L3 and L4 are a confocal lens pair, and L5 is the focusing lens; PBS1∼2 are polarizing beam splitter cubes; BS1 is a non-polarizing beam splitter; M is a reflective mirror; SLM denotes a spatial light modulator; P1∼2 denote polarizers; λ/4 denotes a quarter-wave plate. CMOS denotes a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor camera. (b) Phase distributions of a typical binary CDG, (c) a spiral phase, and (d) the CDG embedded with the spiral phase. The insets in the bottom-right corner indicate the enlarged portions in those rectangular areas in (b) and (d), respectively.

Fig. 2. Simulation and experimental results of dark POVs generated by CDGs embedded with spiral phases with charges of (a) l=1, (b) −5, and (c) 15. In each box, the simulation results of the intensity distribution and interferograms are shown in the first and second rows; the experimental results of the intensity distribution and interferograms are shown in the third and fourth rows, respectively. The insets are enlarged portions of dark impulse rings in rectangular areas in those sub-images for intensity distribution. The scale bar denotes 300 μm.
