| Research Abstract |
Few-cycle optical vortex pulses were first generated by optical parametric amplification and chirp compensation. In addition, topological-charge-programmable ultrashort optical-vortex pulse generation was demonstrated. Measurement method of orbital angular momentum (OAM) spectra with high precision, time-resolved nonlinear spectroscopy technique using optical vortices as a pump and a probe, nonlinear OAM conversion method with high accuracy were developed. Furthermore, chiral nano-needles of metal were first fabricated by using spin-controlled optical-vortex pulses.
