| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
An optical vortex can exhibit an annular intnsity profile characterized by a topological charge of l that originates from a phase singularity. This phenomenon enables us to enrich many research areas, such as super-resolution microscopy, and chiral fabrications. Most of the optical vortices studies have concerned the frequency range from the visible to middle infrared region. We here focus on the terahertz (THz) region, which includes various fingerprint spectra of molecules and clusters.
A THz spiral phase plate (SPP) having high transmission and extremely low frequency dispersion, based on the Tsurupica polymer, has been developed, thereby efficiently generating THz optical vortices. We have successfully demonstrated THz vortex output by using a Tsurupica SPP and tunable THz source. The magnitude and sign of the topological charge of THz vortex output were also observed by utilizing the tilted lend focusing and radial defect introduction techniques.
