Planck constant). The unique phase distribution enables the vortex light beam to have potential application values in the fields of quantum information processing, particle confinement, manipulation and the like, and has wide application prospects in the aspects of information transmission and information encoding in optical communication.
The intensity function of the vortex beam has a helical phase factor e dependent on the azimuth angle theta±ilθ(l is the number of topological charges, where l is generally any integer). The method has the advantages that due to the uncertain relation between the topological load number l and the azimuth angle theta, l can be any numerical value, the channel flux of a communication system can be enlarged, the transmission rate is improved, meanwhile, the system confidentiality is enhanced, and a means is provided for solving new requirements and problems in the modern communication system.

The method is too complicated and complex, and compared with the method, the topological charge number of the vortex light beam to be measured cannot be obtained quickly and accurately.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide an optical system for rapidly detecting the topological charge number of a vortex beam, which obtains a diffraction pattern by utilizing a light field diffraction principle and rapidly judges the topological charge number through the diffraction pattern. Meanwhile, the detection system is simple and rapid, and the detection operation difficulty is reduced.
In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is an optical system for rapidly detecting the topological charge number of a vortex light beam by using a mask, and the system consists of a light source to be detected, a triangular annular mask and an image sensor.
When an incident vortex beam vertically enters the surface of the triangular annular mask plate, a new diffraction light field is formed and is transmitted to the image sensor, and the topological charge number can be obtained according to the diffraction pattern of the new diffraction light field.
The vortex light beam topological charge number rapid detection system is characterized in that a vortex light beam to be detected and a triangular annular mask are used for diffraction, and a topological charge number value is rapidly obtained according to the characteristics of diffraction patterns. The outer ring of the selected triangular ring is a regular triangle with side length a, the inner ring of the selected triangular ring is a regular triangle with side length b (b is less than a), wherein the size of the triangular ring is limited, the aperture cannot be too large according to the setting of the size of the waist spot of the incident vortex light beam, on the other hand, the aperture meets the requirement that the size of diffraction effect is in the millimeter order, otherwise, the aperture is too small and is limited by the processing precision.
The vortex light beam topological charge number rapid detection system is characterized in that the existence of the topological charge number l and the number of bright spots N on each side of a triangle in a diffraction pattern can be deduced according to the diffraction pattern:
l=N-1
from this, we derive the topological charge of the incident vortex beam according to the above equation.
The vortex light beam topological charge number rapid detection system is characterized in that a mask plate consists of two parts, namely a substrate and a shading layer. The substrate is made of quartz glass or other light-transmitting materials, the shading layer is made of metal material layers or other light-proof materials, the shading layer is covered on the substrate, and a required light-transmitting triangular ring is processed on the surface of the shading layer by adopting a laser engraving method or other physical means.

FIG. 2 is a diffraction pattern obtained after a vortex beam is incident on the detection system.
Example 1
As shown in fig. 1(a), a detection system is sequentially built, and a mask shown in fig. 1(b) is selected, wherein the outer ring of the triangular ring is set to be a regular triangle with the side length of 3mm, and the inner ring of the triangular ring is set to be a regular triangle with the side length of 1 mm. In this example, the distance between the mask and the image sensor is set to 1000 mm.
Arbitrarily selecting one vortex light to be incident into the system, changing the topological charge value of the vortex light and then sequentially incident to obtain a diffraction pattern, as shown in figure 2. The outgoing light field after being masked is calculated by an incident vortex light field through a Fraunhofer diffraction integral formula, wherein the related Fraunhofer diffraction integral formula is as follows:
Figure BSA0000221768680000031
wherein z is the propagation distance; k is the wave vector; λ is the operating wavelength; u (x)0,y0) Is the incident light field distribution when z is 0; u (x, y, z) is the diffraction field distribution; t (x)0,y0) The transmittance of the mask is shown.
FIGS. 2(a) - (f) are diffraction patterns obtained after a vortex beam is perpendicularly incident on the detection system. Wherein the topological charge number is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 in sequence. The number of bright spots N on each side of the triangle in the observed diffraction pattern is directly related to the topological charge number l: when the topological charge number l is 1, the number of the bright spots is 2; when the topological charge number l is 2, the number of the bright spots is 3; when the topological charge number l is 3, the number of the bright spots is 4; when the topological charge number l is 4, the number of the bright spots is 5; when the topological load number l is 5, the number of the bright spots is 6; when the topological load number l is 6, the number of the bright spots is 7; therefore, the existence of the topological charge number l and the bright spot number N on each side of the triangle in the diffraction pattern can be obtained according to the analysis result:
l=N-1 (2)
