    Figures & Tables(7)
    Schematic diagram for the generation of the (a) original HCBs and (b) width-extended HCBs. FT, Fourier transform; f, focal length. The insets embedded in initial planes represent the truncation functions.
    Azimuthal phase Φa as functions of azimuth angle θ for different reconfigured HCB patterns. (a) Exponential type case; (b) sine type case; (c1)–(c2) chirped-oscillation type case, and m = 3 in (c1) and m = 5 in (c2).
    Schematic diagram of the experimental setup. HWP, half-wave plate; Pol., polarizer; L1–L5, lenses; M, plane mirror; SLM, spatial light modulator (1920 pixel × 1080 pixel, 8 µm pitch); BS, beam splitter; CCD, charge-coupled device.
    Ordinary interference-pattern HCBs. (a1)–(a6) Phase distributions in the initial plane; (b1)–(b6) numerical simulation results of intensity distributions in the observation plane. The red dots label the number of fringes. (c1)–(c6) Experimental results corresponding to (b1)–(b6).
    Phase distribution of HCBs in the observation plane. (a1)–(a3) Type-S: l1 = 3, l2 = 7 and their interference pattern. The black circle labels the singularity point. (b1)–(b3) Type-O: l1 = 1, l2 = −3 and their interference pattern. The black arrows label the singularity point. The green curvilinear arrows label the phase gradient.
    Complex interference-pattern HCBs. (a1)–(a4) Intensity distributions in the case of exponential type (l1 = 3, l2 = 6); (c1)–(c4) intensity distributions in the case of exponential type (l1 = 1, l2 = −3); (e1)–(e4) intensity distributions in the case of sine type (l1 = 3, l2 = 6); (g1)–(g4) intensity distributions in the case of chirped-oscillation type (l1 = 1, l2 = −3); (b1)–(b4), (d1)–(d4), (f1)–(f4), and (h1)–(h4) show the corresponding experimental results, respectively. The red arrows label the number of knee points.
    Combinations of interference-pattern HCBs. (a1) “Tornado” pattern; (a2) “cloud” pattern; (a3) “sea wave” pattern; (a4) “butterfly” pattern; (b1)–(b4) show the corresponding experimental results, respectively.
