Problems solved by technology

However, for adjacent orbital angular momentum states, the two light spots on the receiving screen will be difficult to distinguish because they are relatively close
At the same time, the two phase screens also increase the complexity of spectrum measurement

Abstract

The invention discloses a device and system for measuring the orbital angular momentum spectrum of a light beam. The device just needs to enable a to-be-measured light beam to be transmitted in an optical axis direction of a system, and obtains a far-field diffraction spot gray scale pattern at a receiving end. The orbital angular momentum spectrum of the incident light beam can be obtained through a calculation system provided by the invention. The device is very simple, and the optical path is easy to adjust. The device is higher in operability, and just needs to obtain the far-field diffraction spot gray scale pattern, wherein other operations are automatically completed by a host. Compared with the conventional technology of orbital angular momentum spectrum measurement, the device and system are improved greatly. The device and system can be used for the technology of light communication, the field of quantum information processing and the technology of optical tweezers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of optoelectronic technology, in particular to a device and system for measuring the orbital angular momentum spectrum of light beams. Background technique [0002] Angular momentum is one of the most basic physical quantities in physics, which can be used to describe the rotational motion of an object. Angular momentum can be divided into spin angular momentum and orbital angular momentum. For photons, the spin angular momentum macroscopically appears as a circular polarization state, while the orbital angular momentum appears as the helical wavefront of the beam. For a beam carrying orbital angular momentum, because it has a helical wavefront, there will be a phase singularity in the center of the beam, that is, there is no light intensity in the center of the beam, and its cross-sectional light intensity distribution is a ring. Beams carrying orbital angular momentum are also called vortex beams. Common beams ca...
