Vortex beam generation with variable topological charge based on a spiral slit

We propose a vortex beam generator based on a nanometer spiral slit and explore the propagation rule of the topological charge. Compared to the common methods of generation of a vortex beam with a fixed topological charge, the optical vortex generated by the proposed vortex beam generator has the to...
