Self-focusing vortex beams

Opt Lett. 2021 May 15;46(10):2384-2387. doi: 10.1364/OL.423220.

Abstract

A class of wide-stationary optical sources with a specially designed degree of coherence profile is introduced for radiating spectral densities with a vortex whose core's location and size can be controlled at a specified range. This is achieved by modeling of the source coherence state as a combination of a helicoidal separable phase and a Cartesian phase factor, depending on the separation between the $ n $th power of the radius-vectors of two points.
