Article Abstract
An all-fiber focused perfect vortex beam (PVB) generator is reported and fabricated by using 3D printing technology. The generator is constructed by integrating a designed spiral axicon zone plate (SAZP) on the fiber-end facet. The ring diameters of the generated beams are independent of the topological charges and positively correlated with the wave vectors in the transverse direction. By controlling the axicon angle, the ring diameter can be freely adjusted. The experimental results are consistent with the simulation results, confirming the rationality of the design. These generated PVBs are expected to be useful in applications such as high-capacity fiber-optic communication and multifunctional optical tweezers.

Double-ring perfect vortex beams (DR-PVBs), characterized by their unique double-ring radii that are independent of topological charges, have significant potential for applications in optical manipulation and communication. However, their wavefronts experience significant distortion when transmitted through strongly scattering media (SSM). In this study, we propose a method to reconstruct DR-PVBs through SSM using full vector transmission matrix-based vector point spread function (VTM-VPSF) engineering.

Here, we propose a novel approach using a transmission-type Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) meta-surface to generate nearly perfect focused terahertz vortex beams with opposite incident circular polarization. Our design leverages silicon pillars composed of two-layer structures exhibiting opposite symmetry Fabry-Perot resonances along two orthogonal directions, serving as high performance meta-atoms capable of both generating PB phase and achieving high transmittance.
