摘要: 理论分析并实验研究了涡旋光束通过单分光棱镜后的自干涉现象.研究结果表明,不同于涡旋光束与平面波或者球

面波干涉,涡旋光束自干涉条纹呈“扭曲”状,且在干涉条纹边缘处会出现“断裂”条纹,其数目随着涡旋拓扑荷数增大而增大,

且“断裂”条纹的指向与拓扑荷符号相关.上述结论提供了一种原理和操作简单的测量涡旋光束拓扑荷数的方法.

Abstract: The self - interference phenomenon of a vortex beam passing through a single splitting prism is

analyzed theoretically and studied experimentally. The results show that the self-interference fringes of the vortex

beams are twisted,which are different from the interference of a vortex beam with a plane or spherical wave. At the

edge of the interference fringes,the number of fracture stripes will increase with the increase of the vortex

  topological charge,and the direction of the fracture stripe is determined by the symbol of topological charge. The

  above conclusion provides a new method for measuring the topological charges of vortex beams in a simple way.

Key words: vortex beam, splitting prism, interferometry, topological charge
