Summary

Description
English: A light beam with a given orbital angular momentum (OAM) can be generated by letting a standard Gaussian beam impinge on a display of a spatial light modulator (SLM). The phase of the reflected beam is a sum of the original phase and the phase projected onto the SLM. If the phase profile on SLM is flat, the SLM works effectively as a mirror. If the phase has a helical profile, the resulting beam is a Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beam with a well-defined OAM. The sign as well as the value of OAM can be easily changed by projecting different patterns on the SLM. In real applications, there is a non-negligible admixture in the reflected beam in the form of a Gaussian beam. One can get rid of it by superposing the helical phase on the SLM with a diffraction grating. The resulting pattern, the fork hologram, reflects the LG beam into a different direction than the Gaussian admixture.
Čeština: Světelný paprsek s daným orbitálním momentem hybnosti (OAM) může být generován tak, že se standardní Gaussovský svazek nechá dopadat na displej prostorového modulátoru světla (SLM). Fáze odraženého paprsku je součtem původní fáze a fáze promítnuté na SLM. Je-li fázový profil na SLM plochý, funguje SLM v podstatě jako zrcadlo. Pokud je fáze šroubovicovitá, je odražený paprsek Laguerrův-Gaussův (LG) svazek s dobře definovaným OAM. Znaménko i hodnotu OAM lze snadno změnit promítnutím jiného fázového vzorku na SLM. V reálných aplikacích obsahuje odražený svazek nezanedbatelnou příměs v podobě Gaussovského svazku. Tuto příměs lze odstranit tak, že se na SLM promítne vzorek doplněný o difrakční mřížku. Výsledný vzorek, vidlicovitý hologram, odráží LG svazek do jiného směru než Gaussovskou příměs.
