Title: Optical vortices generation using the Wollaston prism

Journal Article · · Applied Optics
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1364/AO.45.007898· OSTI ID:20853680

A new setup of interferometers is proposed in which the set of specific optical markers - optical vortices - could be generated. The classical Mach-Zender two-beam interferometer has been modernized using the Wollaston prism. In this setup, the optical vortices could be obtained for a wide range of both beam parameters. The numerical analysis and experiments confirm our theoretical predictions.
