Propagable Optical Vortices with Natural Noninteger Orbital Angular Momentum in Free Space

Light beams with optical vortices can propagate in free space only with integer orbital angular momentum. Herein, this scientific consensus theoretically and experimentally is upheaved by proposing light beams carrying natural noninteger orbital angular momentum. These peculiar vortex beams are uniq...
