Cascaded metasurfaces for high-purity vortex generation

Abstract We introduce a new paradigm for generating high-purity vortex beams with metasurfaces. By applying optical neural networks to a system of cascaded phase-only metasurfaces, we demonstrate the efficient generation of high-quality Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) vortex modes. Our approach is based on t...
