Abstract
Perfect optical vortex beams (POV) have attracted considerable attention in many novel applications because they have the advantage of a radial profile that is independent of the topological charge (TC). Nowadays, there are few effective methods to measure both the integer and the fractional TCs of the POV. In this paper, we achieve the precise measurement of arbitrary TCs through the approach of dynamic angular double slits (ADS), which performs the transformation from the POV to the interference intensity patterns at the angular bisector direction of the ADS. The information of the TC can be obtained from the periodically changing interference pattern. The deviation is less than 2% by comparing the theoretical values with the fitting results, therefore the detection method is effective and reasonable.
