Author:Dudley, Angela L; Majola, N; Chetty, N; Forbes, ADate:Feb 2016The coherent superposition of a Gaussian beam with an optical vortex can be mathematically described to occupy the complex plane. The authors provide a simple analogy between the mathematics, in the form of the complex plane, and the visual ...Read more
Author:Dudley, Angela L; Majola, N; Chetty, N; Forbes, ADate:25 Sep 2014In this work we construct coherent superpositions of Gaussian and vortex modes which can be described to occupy the complex-plane. We demonstrate how these fields can be experimentally constructed in a digital, controllable manner with a ...Read more
