Abstract

Behaviour of Laguerre{Gaussian beams (optical vortices are their attributes) impinged at a dielectric interface under distinct angles is discussed. For different incident angles the beams interact with the interface differently. Two ranges of incident angles, specified by diverse optical vortices excitation which is caused by cross-polarization effect, is analyzed. "Significant" boundary between these two ranges is defined. Theoretical analyses are confirmed by numerical simulations.
