Abstract

The twisted Laguerre-Gaussian beam was generated by transforming of Hermite-Gaussian beams through an optical system consisting of three rotated cylindrical lenses. The intensity distribution and phase structure of the twisted hollow beam were theoretically analyzed by using Collins diffraction integral. By utilizing the method of mode decomposition, the theory of transformation was analyzed. In the experiment, micro particles were trapped and rotated by this twisted beam.
