Arbitrary polarization conversion for pure vortex generation with a single metasurface

The purity of an optical vortex beam depends on the spread of its energy among different azimuthal and radial modes, also known as ℓ$\ell $- and p-modes. The smaller the spread, the higher the vortex purity and more efficient its creation and detection. There are several methods to generate vortex b...
