- Abstract
Perfect vortex beams (PVBs) possess the advantage of a stable light field distribution regardless of their topological charges, and thus they are extensively utilized in various applications, such as free-space optical communication, optical tweezers and laser processing. Herein, we report a new strategy to generate and modulate PVBs using coherent beam combining (CBC) technology. Both piston phase and tilting phase controlling methods have been successfully employed, and the corresponding properties of the generated PVBs have been fully investigated. Moreover, the number and position of the gaps in fractional perfect vortex beams (FPVBs) could be precisely controlled, and the relationships between these modulated parameters and the performance of FPVBs are uncovered. These simulation analysis results demonstrate the potential for flexible modulation of PVBs or FPVBs in the CBC system, indicating promising prospects for coherent beam arrays (CBAs) in laser beam shaping and achieving high-power structured light.
