摘要
We present the design of a mode converter which transforms a Hermite-gaussian mode of arbitrarily high order to a Laguerre-gaussian mode and vice versa. The converter consists of two cylindrical lenses and is based on appropriate use of the Gouy phase. We demonstrate mode conversion experimentally and consider where the concomitant transfer of orbital angular momentum is localized.
