Abstract
The authors propose a low-pass 2f spatial filter for improving optical vortex beams in terms of circular geometry generated by a microfabricated wedge in free space. Compared with a conventional wedge, they are able to realize high-quality vortex beams with Q value close to 1 in free-space propagation. Physical mechanism behind the technique is found that it removes the diffraction artifacts as well as higher spatial frequency components of the quasivortex beams based on a wedge and hence the filtered beam is reconstructed with minimized distortions.
