Micro-step localization using double charge optical vortex interferometer

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: We investigate the diffraction effects of focused Gaussian beams yielding a double optical vortex by a nano-step structure fabricated in a transparent media. When approaching such a step the double vortex splits into single ones which move in a characteristic way. By observing this movement we can determine the position of the step with high resolution. Our theoretical predictions were verified experimentally.
