We have experimentally investigated the evolution properties of multiramp fractional vortex beams (MFVBs) in free space, by using a fundamental Gaussian beam reflecting from a phase-modulated spatial light modulator. The issue about the total vortex strength of such MFVBs is systematically addressed, and our result reveals the dependence of the total vortex strength depends on both the non-integer topological charge $alpha $ and the multiramp number $m$ contained in initial multiramp phase structures. In the near-field region, vortices contained in MFVBs are unstable and it is hard to effectively confirm the vortex strength for such fields. However, in the far-field region, the evolution of vortices in fields becomes stable and the behavior of vortex strength is confirmed experimentally via measuring vortex structures by interference method. These findings give us an understanding of such complex MFVBs and may lead to potential applications in light signal process and propagation.

Fractional vortex beams (FVBs) with non-integer topological charges attract much attention due to unique features of propagations, but there still exist different viewpoints on the change of their total vortex strength. Here we have experimentally de monstrated the distribution and number of vortices contained in FVBs at Fraunhofer diffraction region. We have verified that the jumps of total vortex strength for FVBs happens only when non-integer topological charge is before and after (but very close to) any even integer number, which originates from two different mechanisms for generation and movement of vortices on focal plane. Meanwhile, we have also measured the beam propagation factor (BPF) of such FVBs, and have found that their BPF values almost increase linearly in one component and oscillate increasingly in another component. Our experimental results are in good agreement with numerical results.
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.
Diffraction-free optical beams propagate freely without change in shape and scale. Monochromatic beams that avoid diffractive spreading require two-dimensional transverse profiles, and there are no corresponding solutions for profiles restricted to o ne transverse dimension. Here, we demonstrate that the temporal degree of freedom can be exploited to efficiently synthesize one-dimensional pulsed optical sheets that propagate self-similarly in free space. By introducing programmable conical (hyperbolic, parabolic, or elliptical) spectral correlations between the beams spatio-temporal degrees of freedom, a continuum of families of axially invariant pulsed localized beams is generated. The spectral loci of such beams are the reduced-dimensionality trajectories at the intersection of the light-cone with spatio-temporal spectral planes. Far from being exceptional, self-similar axial propagation is a generic feature of fields whose spatial and temporal degrees of freedom are tightly correlated. These one-dimensional `space-time beams can be useful in optical sheet microscopy, nonlinear spectroscopy, and non-contact measurements.
We investigate the dynamics of spatiotemporal optical waves with one transverse dimension that are obtained as the intersections of the dispersion cone with a plane. We show that, by appropriate spectral excitations, the three different types of coni c sections (elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic) can lead to optical waves of the Bessel, Airy, and modified Bessel type, respectively. We find closed form solutions that accurately describe the wave dynamics and unveil their fundamental properties.
We report on an interferometry-based measurement of the phase and group velocities of optical Bessel beams, providing confirmation of their superluminal character in the non-diffractive region. The measurements were performed in free space with a con tinuous wave laser and femtosecond pulses for phase and group velocities respectively. The Bessel beams were produced using a conical mirror.
