摘要
The transformation of Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) beams by a spatially variable retardation plate (SVRP), composed of half wave plates, is investigated. When a LG beam with topological charge of m0 passes through an mth order SVRP, it was transformed into two orthogonal circularly polarized beams with topological charge m0 + m and m0 − m. This property is used to measure topological charges of LG beams. We also propose an efficient method which can be used to check mixed orbital angular momentum states.
