Propagation and Focusing Properties of Vortex Beams Based on Light Ray Tracing

By using the ray-tracing method based on geometric optics, we studied the propagating and focusing characteristics of vortex beams with a top-hat intensity distribution. An intuitive mathematical model is established for the propagation and focusing of vortex beams, revealing the mechanisms and phys...
