Abstract
We experimentally investigate a novel type of diffractive optical element – a nonlinear spiral phase plate. In contrast to the conventional spiral phase plates, the transmission function of the new element is described as exp(imφn ). The intensity distributions generated by these elements have a spiral shape with an intensity gradient. The phase distribution of the generated light fields is also spiral shaped. We believe that the proposed diffractive element will be useful in the area of laser manipulation and laser–matter interaction.
