Abstract

An orbital angular momentum (OAM) interferometer makes use of the superposition of two vortex beams with opposite topological charges to generate a petal-beam. When adding a phase difference to one of the component beams, rotation is introduced to the resulting petal-beam pattern. We propose to automate the analysis of this rotation with the use of Radon transform. Here, we generate a 4, 10, and 20-petal beam with a spatial light modulator (SLM) and induce a phase change in one of the component beams. We compare the calculated phase of our algorithm to the phase difference we use to generate the rotation, and our results show a good one to one correspondence. Hence, determining the rotation and corresponding phase difference can be automated using Radon transform.
