Talbot effect on orbital angular momentum beams: azimuthal intensity repetition-rate multiplication

Abstract

We propose and experimentally demonstrate the azimuthal Talbot effect on orbital angular momentum (OAM) beams. By applying predetermined phases to a number of OAM beams carrying different topological charges, the intensity petal is self-imaged in the azimuthal angle, with arbitrary azimuthal repetition-rate multiplication. The close analogy between temporal and azimuthal Talbot self-imaging is studied. In addition, the effect of amplitude apodization of the OAM spectrum on the resulting intensity pattern, and the azimuthal Talbot effect on Laguerre–Gaussian beams of the same radial indices, are experimentally investigated. All of our experimental images are in excellent agreement with simulation results.
