| description | In this article, we introduce a flexible and programmable method to construct a multi-parameter optical array to meet urgent and personalized needs, such as multi-particle capture and manipulation and material processing, and enrich the degree of freedom when constructing an optical array. As an example, uniform and nonuniform spiral coherent lattices (SCLs) and their propagation properties are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Various intensity distributions, e.g., a uniform and nonuniform spiral light field, can be achieved by manipulating the diverse parameters. Additionally, the complex degree of coherence exhibits phase singularities in the source plane, which can be used for constructing optical vortex beams. |
