摘要：
The orbital angular momentum inherent to light beams with a helical wavefront can be transferred to non-isotropic lenses. A system of three cylindrical lenses suffices to transform an arbitrary paraxial input beam by inverting one transverse direction of the mode function. This also inverts the orbital angular momentum of a Laguerre-Gaussian beam with mode index In. The corresponding transfer of angular momentum shows up directly as a frequency shift 2m Ohm when the lens system is set in rotation at frequency Ohm around the axis.
