Figures & Tables
Fig. 1. Schematic of the experimental setup for detecting the topological charge of optical vortex with an IMI.
Fig. 2. Far-field intensity patterns for vortex beams with different topological charges diffracted by (a) IMI and (b) MI with N = 6 . (a) and (b) are calculated by Eqs. (3 ) and (4 ), respectively.
Fig. 3. Distinctions between the two methods with (c) MI and (f) IMI. (a) and (b) The phase distributions of vortex beams with l = 1 and l = 7 , respectively. (d1) and (d2) are the corresponding local phase distributions obtained by MI for l = 1 and l = 7 , respectively. (e1) and (e2) are the corresponding far-field intensity patterns, respectively. (g1), (g2), (h1), and (h2) are the same as (d1), (d2), (e1), and (e2) but for IMI.
