Utilizing the Momentum in Orbital Angular Momentum: Augmented OAM induced by a Aperture of Three Elements
1RMIT University, School of Engineering, Melbourne, 3000 Australia.
Abstract:
The feasibility to induce augmented dominant OAM modes by a π/2 aperture of three elements in space and weighted quasi-phase shifts is realised in this paper. It is shown through theory, numerical simulations and experimentation, that electromagnetic (EM) waves carrying non-integer OAM with dominant mode l = +1 in the microwave domain can be generated by a quarter of a full azimuthal annular aperture consisting of three elements and a weighted phase shift augmenting the expected conventional phase shift to reach Berry's mode dominance theory of half integer l. With reference to the uncertainty principle of angular momentum and angular position, the proposed augmented OAM with weighted phase shift method seems to decrease mode uncertainties and augment mode dominance.
