Characterization of the Vortex Beam by Fermat’s Spiral
In this paper, we characterize the helical beam structure through an analysis of the spiral character of the phase distribution inside a light beam. In particular, we show that a line connected with the 2π phase jump in the Laguerre–Gauss beam can be described by a Fermat’s spiral. We propose a nume...
