Vortex Lenses / Spiral Phase Plates
Spiral Phase Plates (SPP) are advanced Diffractive Optical Elements (DOE) that twist a plane Gaussian beam into an optical vortex, offering unique applications. The resulting intensity distribution has a dark central area and therefore called a doughnut-shaped beam. Optical vortices enable higher data transmission rates by employing orbital angular momentum multiplexing and enhance imaging resolution in microscopy. In quantum computing, they allow complex operations by generating high-dimensional quantum states. The laser machining industry benefits from their precision in material processing. Serving as a key technology in optics, Spiral Phase Plates are instrumental in driving innovation and addressing complex challenges across various scientific and industrial domains.
