Abstract

The optical vortex has already found lots of applications in various domains. Among such applications, the precise and quantitative mode analysis of optical vortices is of great significance. In this work, we experimentally validate a simple method to analyze the mode of an already known optical field with collinear holography based on the phase-shifting technology. Further, we propose a ring interference strategy to improve the accuracy of mode analysis. In the proof-of-concept experiment, the complex amplitude is characterized, and the mode purity is well analyzed. This method has excellent accuracy and rapidity, which can be implemented in micro-manipulation, optical communication, and rotation speed measurement based on the rotating Doppler effect.
