Integrated Photonic Methods for Manipulation of Optical Vortices
Optical vortices are a variety of cylindrical modes that have spiral phase terms around the optical axis. In recent years, optical vortices have attracted wide interest because of their potential applications in many areas including optical communications, optical information processing, imaging sensing, and quantum information. Compared to approaches based on free space optics, integrated photonics provides more effective approaches for the manipulation of optical vortices. This paper reviews the theoretical framework and latest progress in such approaches.
