Abstract
In this paper, two kind of metasurface-based flat orbital angular momentum (OAM) superposition-state generators are proposed, which can generate OAM superposition states possessing tens of OAM modes being evenly spaced by topological charge number 1. The power spectra of the generated OAM superposition states are flat. The power variation of the OAM modes of the OAM superposition states from one generator is less than 3 dB, and the power variation of the OAM modes of the OAM superposition states from the other one is less than 0.3 dB. By controlling the left-handed and right-handed circular polarization states of the incident light, the OAM spectra of the OAM superposition states generated in the two polarization cases are separated from each other, therefore, the proposed generators are light polarization controllable. In addition, the two generators can operate efficiently on a wide wavelength region ranging from 635nm to 730nm. Our work may have some potential applications, such as used for OAM multicasting, OAM based optical manipulation, or manufacturing integrated OAM-superposition-state generators and OAM modulation devices.
