Coaxial superposition of Bessel beams by discretized spiral axicons

Abstract Background A diffractive spiral axicon can be used for the generation of a vortex beam with orbital angular momentum. The coaxial superposition of multiple vortices can generate a complex field with off-axis optical vortices. These fields are known as optical vortex lattices. In general, th...
