摘要：

An SU(2) basis for the recently proposed analog of the Poincare sphere for light beams with orbital angular momentum is presented. The work of Padgett and Courtial [Opt. Lett. 24, 430 (1999)] is generalized in several directions, including quantized as well as partially coherent beams with orbital angular momentum. The SU(N) version of the present theory can be used for higher-order Laguerre-Gauss beams. (C) 1999 Optical Society of America [S0740-3232(99)01312-5].
