Based on the Kirchhoff-Fresnel approximation, we numerically analyze spatial characteristics of the light field formed after a circular Laguerre-Gaussian beam with a single-charged optical vortex (OV) passes the transparent screen with a rectilinear phase step. The main attention is paid to the localization and interactions of the OVs, which form the singular skeleton of the transformed field. The phase-step influence depends on its value and position with respect to the beam axis. Upon weak perturbation (low phase step) the main effect is that the OV is shifted from the initial axial position and describes a closed loop when the phase step is monotonously translated across the beam. The strong perturbation (the phase step is close to pi) induces topological reactions with emergence and annihilation of additional singularities in the near-axial region of the diffracted beam cross section. These features are interpreted based on the 3D OV trajectories that show an intricate behavior with kinks and retrograde segments. The details of the OV migration and singular skeleton transformations reveal the fundamental helical nature and transverse energy circulation in the OV beams. The numerical results obtained in this paper show possibilities for the purposeful control of the singular skeleton characteristics within the transformed beam, and can be useful for the OV diagnostics, OV metrology and micromanipulation techniques.

Spatial characteristics of diffracted beams produced by a fork hologram from an incident circular Laguerre-Gaussian beam whose axis differ from the hologram optical axis are studied theoretically. General analytical representations for the complex am
plitude distribution of a diffracted beam are derived in terms of superposition of Kummer beams or hypergeometric-Gaussian beams. The diffracted beam structure is determined by combination of the proper topological charge m of the incident vortex beam and the topological charge l of the singularity imparted by the hologram. Evolution of the diffracted beam structure is studied in detail for several combinations of m and l and for various incident beam displacements with respect to the optical axis of the hologram. Variations of the intensity and phase distribution due to the incident beam misalignment are investigated and possible applications for the purposeful optical-vortex beam generation and optical measurements are discussed.
Special features of the optical-vortex (OV) beams generated by thick holographic elements (HE) with embedded phase singularity are considered theoretically. The volume HE structure is based on the 3D pattern of interference between an OV beam and a s
tandard reference wave with regular wavefront. The incident beam diffraction is described within the framework of a linear single-scattering model in which the volume HE is represented by a set of parallel thin layers with the fork holographic structure. An explicit integral expression is derived for the complex amplitude distribution of the diffracted paraxial beam with OV. The numerical analysis demonstrates that the HE thickness may essentially influence not only selectivity and efficiency of the OV beam generation but also the amplitude and phase profile of the diffracted beam as well as regularities of its propagation. We have studied the generated OV morphology and laws of its evolution; in particular, the possibility of obtaining a circularly symmetric OV beam regardless of the diffraction angle is revealed.
We present a quantum optics approach for describing stimulated parametric down conversion in the two type-I crystal sandwich configuration, which allows for parametric interaction of vector vortex beams. We analyze the conditions for which phase conj
ugation of the seed vector beam occurs. We then use two strategies for defining generalized Stokes parameters to describe phase conjugation of vector vortex beams. These allow for geometrical representations, such as higher-order Poincare spheres. Our results are useful for description and design of stimulated and spontaneous parametric down conversion experiments with vector vortex beams.
We report the experimental demonstration of the induced polarization-dependent optical vortex beams. We use the Talbot configuration as a method to probe this effect. In particular, our simple experiment shows the direct measurement of this observati
on. Our experiment can exhibit clearly the combination between the polarization and orbital angular momentum (OAM) states of light. This implementation might be useful for further studies in the quantum system or quantum information.
Vector vortex beams have played a fundamental role in the better understanding of coherence and polarization. They are described by spatially inhomogeneous polarization states, which present a rich optical mode structure that has attracted much atten
tion for applications in optical communications, imaging, spectroscopy and metrology. However, this complex mode structure can be quite detrimental when propagation effects such as turbulence and birefringence perturb the beam. Optical phase conjugation has been proposed as a method to recover an optical beam from perturbations. Here we demonstrate full phase conjugation of vector vortex beams using three-wave mixing. Our scheme exploits a fast non-linear process that can be conveniently controlled via the pump beam. Our results pave the way for sophisticated, practical applications of vector beams.
