Generation of vortex beams using holographic phase masks in photo-thermo-refractive glass (Conference Presentation)
Paper Abstract
We present a high-power capable, simple, tunable, and robust vortex beam generator. Initial phase profiles are generated using a Spatial Light Modulator and then holographically encoded into a Transmitting Volume Bragg Grating (TBG) resulting in fabrication of a Holographic Phase Mask (HPM). Such HPMs could be used for mode conversion (e.g. Gaussian to vortex) at high power due to low absorption and low nonlinear refractive index of photo-thermo-refractive glass. Unlike monochromatic conventional phase mask, adjustment of an incidence angle on the HPM results in conservation of the phase information incurred into the beam making HPM tunable.
