It is shown theoretically and experimentally that the transformation of modes by an astigmatic {pi}/2 converter is invariant with respect to the input-beam displacement and tilt. The possibility is considered of using this property for manipulating microobjects and simultaneous generation of Laguerre-Gaussian modes of different orders with the help of the same astigmatic {pi}/2 converter. (laser modes and beams)
