Detecting the topological charge of optical vortex beams using a sectorial screen

Abstract

We demonstrate a new method to detect the vortex beams carrying orbital angular momentum by a sectorial screen. When the sectorial screen is illuminated by optical vortex beams, the far-field diffraction pattern can be used to visually determine the modulus and sign of topological charges. We also prove that center alignment is not strictly required. The experimental results agree well with the simulated results.
