Abstract

Based on the generalized Huygens-Fresnel diffraction integral, closed-form expressions for the relative phase shift of Laguerre-Gaussian beams propagating through an apertured paraxial optical ABCD system are derived. The dependence of the relative phase shift on the beam and system parameters, and the condition for eliminating phase shift are analysed and illustrated with numerical examples.
