摘要：

A wide range of diffractive elements have been used to evaluate the topological charge of Laguerre-Gaussian beams. Here, we show theoretically and experimentally that this charge can be simply and readily measured from the interference pattern in Young's double-slit experiment. It can be evaluated from the twisting order of the interference. The results are confronted with previously published studies. The potentialities of the method are then compared with existing techniques.
