Perfect optical vortex beams (POVBs) are widely applied in particle manipulation, optical communication, and laser material processing for the constant spot size under different topological charges (TCs). Compared with the integer-order POVB, the fractional POVB which is a dark hollow beam with an opening in the angular intensity distribution is more flexible in particle manipulation and beam shaping. In addition, the fractional POVB carries the information with fractional TC orders and has a greater communication capacity. In order to realize the above applications of the fractional POVB, the accurate recognition of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode is of great significance. In this paper, a method combining convolutional neural network (CNN) and multiaperture interferometer (MI) is proposed to recognize the modes of 0.01-order fractional POVB. Experimental results show that the recognition accuracy of 0.01-order fractional POVB reaches 100% under an ideal environment. Under the condition of a sector-shaped opaque obstacle of 90° and 180°, the recognition accuracy of 0.01-order fractional POVB reaches 100% and 99.5%, respectively. This study provides a new method for recognizing 0.01-order fractional POVB, which is of great significance for the application and promotion of this beam.
Our method for fractional POVB recognition combines an MI and a CNN. First, the POVB to be detected is sent to the MI, and interference patterns are collected at the output of the interferometer. In this work, the MI is a seven-aperture plate that is realized through a spatial light modulator (SLM). The aperture radius
In this paper, a method combing CNN with MI is proposed to accurately classify 0.01-order fractional POVB under ideal and non-ideal environments. This method utilizes the one-to-one relationship between the TC of the input beam and the intensity pattern of the interferometer and the classification ability of CNN to accurately classify the 0.01-order fractional POVB. The experimental results show that in the ideal environment, the recognition accuracy of this method for 0.01-order fractional POVB reaches 100%. For the non-ideal environments with a sector-shaped opaque obstacle of 90° and 180°, the recognition accuracy of this method for 0.01-order fractional POVB is 100% and 99.5%, respectively. The proposed method provides a new scheme for the recognition of fractional POVB. We hope that it can be helpful in the applications of fractional optical vortices.
