Superpositions of light fields carrying orbital angular momentum.
The work presented in this thesis is centred on the generation of superimposed optical fields which each carry orbital angular momentum (OAM) and the development of OAM measurement techniques. Optical fields which carry OAM have found applications ranging from optical tweezing to quantum cryptograph...
