分别从理论上和实验上研究了涡旋光束的产生和干涉现象.理论上分析了分数阶和整数阶涡旋光束同球面波以及平面波的干涉情况,并从实验上得出了其干涉图形.实验结果和理论模拟基本上一致.研究表明,随着涡旋光束拓扑荷数的变化,干涉图形也会产生变化.这一现象可用于测定分数阶涡旋光束的拓扑荷数.
The generation and interference of vortex beam have been investigated both theoretically and experimentally in this paper. The interference pattern of fractiona land integral vortex beams with vortex beams with spherical wave and plane wave have been studied numerically, and the corresponding experimental results are presented. The experimental results and numerical results are practically consistent. It is found that the interference pattern varies with the topological charge of vortex beams. This phenomenon can be used to detect the topological charge of fractional vortex beam.
