Identifying the tilt angle and correcting the orbital angular momentum spectrum dispersion of misaligned light beam

Abstract The axis tilt of light beam in optical system would introduce the dispersion of orbital angular momentum (OAM) spectrum. To deal with it, a two-step method is proposed and demonstrated. First, the tilt angle of optical axis is identified with a deduced relation between the tilt angle and th...
