摘要
Optical vortices with tunable polarization states and topological charges are widely investigated in various physical systems and practical devices for high-capacity optical communication.However,this kind of structured light beams is usually generated using several polarization and spatial phase devices,which decreases the configurability of optical systems.Here,we have designed a kind of polarized optical multi-vortices generator based on the Stokes-Mueller formalism and cross-phase modulation.In our scheme,multi-channel generation of polarized vortex beams can be realized through a single optical element and a single-input Gaussian beam.The polarization states and orbital angular momentum of the generated light beams are all-optically controllable.Furthermore,the proposed polarized optical multi-vortices generator has also been demonstrated experimentally through one-step holographic recording in an azobenzene liquid-crystalline film and the experimental results agree with theoretical analysis.
