Modal Characterization using Principal Component Analysis: application to Bessel, higher-order Gaussian beams and their superposition
The modal characterization of various families of beams is a topic of current interest. We recently reported a new method for the simultaneous determination of both the azimuthal and radial mode indices for light fields possessing orbital angular momentum. The method is based upon probing the far-fi...
