Abstract
- In this paper we investigate the self-reference interferometry of optical vortices using a Michelson interferometer. It is found that the detection of topological charge (TC) for optical vortices is constrained by some physical conditions. We present these conditions through theoretical analyses, numerical simulation and experimental results. The maximal detectable TCs are different for different parameters, which is helpful for the measurement of TC in practical applications. Within the range allowed by the constrained conditions, we also study the detection of TC using the interference pattern of a two-way optical vortex, by changing the inclined angle of one mirror of the Michelson interferometer.
