Generation of the rotating light fields under amplitude and phase distortions

Abstract

The work contains study of the influence of amplitude and phase distortions on the generation of two-lobe light fields with the intensity distribution rotating under propagation. Spiral beams, as well as light fields formed on their basis, are considered as particular examples of two-lobe light fields. The amplitude distortions result from the preset different intensity distributions of the illuminating beam, and phase distortions are determined by the primary aberrations.
