Definition: spiral phase plates, also called vortex phase plates, are phase-only field-control optics; the source calls transmissive designs '*** classic,' retaining masking. Optical thickness varies continuously or stepwise with azimuth θ, adding phase delay Δφ=ℓθ to directly generate optical vortices carrying orbital angular momentum; see schematic. Key parameters: 1. Operating wavelength spans UV, visible, near IR, and far IR, 193nm~10.6μm. 3. Surface types: (1) refractive, continuous traditional solid surfaces with monotonically increasing thickness around the center. Different thicknesses create path differences and azimuth-dependent delay without relying on diffraction. The thickness formula is absent; n denotes substrate index, n₀ air index, and λ operating wavelength. (2) Diffractive, discrete multilevel relief approximating continuous phase. Easier to manufacture, but wavelength-dependent. 4. Clear aperture, the transmitting phase-modulating region, supports custom circular/square sizes. 6. Substrates/coatings: fused silica, silicon, germanium, ZnSe; custom band-specific AR/laser-resistant coatings. Principles: 1. Basic modulation. A parallel Gaussian beam passes through varying spiral thicknesses, producing graded path differences. Transmitted phase increases with angle to form a spiral wavefront. 2. Phase singularity. Around one revolution, total phase changes by the topological-charge multiple of 2π. Central cancellation creates a zero-intensity dark singularity and the '*** final' hollow-ring vortex, retaining source masking. 3. Reconstructed output carries orbital angular momentum, converting an ordinary beam into vortex light, with beam rotation/conversion and annular energy redistribution for specialty control. Manufacturing/customization: the company describes itself as an early Chinese precision micro/nano-optics developer with years of R&D/industrial experience and a '******' Chinese enterprise to complete independent spiral-plate development and mass production, breaking an overseas monopoly, with the qualifier masked. Its engineers specialize in design, fabrication, and inspection, with extensive vortex-phase/DOE practice. Core specialists solved three bottleneck processes: three-dimensional spiral etching, precision spiral-figure calibration, and high-damage-threshold specialty coatings, enabling domestic independent production. An integrated in-house lithography line controls full development/manufacturing. Precision structures transform Gaussian input into high-quality vortex light, with regular uniform dark cores, very low phase distortion, and diffraction efficiency consistently above 90%, described as comparable with leading imports. Custom charges cover 1~64; spectra cover UV through near IR. High-purity fused silica is preferred for continuous high-power lasers, damage resistance, and stable operation under temperature/vibration. Silicon, germanium, and ZnSe options with custom AR/laser-resistant coatings meet varied systems. The team controls optical/vortex simulation, optimized structures, prototypes, industrial batches, and full outgoing inspection. Flexible orders serve nonstandard research prototypes/special structures and standardized high-volume equipment production. Relief accuracy, efficiency, vortex uniformity, and zero-order suppression are individually inspected, with complete reports available. Compared with imports, local lines shorten lead times, and dedicated optical engineers provide one-to-one support with claimed advantages in initial design, on-site setup, corrections, and parameter flexibility. Complete design/manufacturing/inspection services address vortex manipulation, field control, precision experiments, and laser equipment. Products are widely applied to micromanipulation, superresolution microscopy, orbital-angular-momentum communications, Hartmann sensing, and precision laser processing. Independent processes, micrometer figure accuracy, stable modulation, and lifecycle support have earned long-term strategic collaboration with research institutes, listed equipment firms, and leading laser companies. The company describes itself as one of few Chinese benchmark leaders controlling design through mass production, assuring technology, capacity, quality, and after-sales service. The following is the stock list; unlisted models are customizable with 3-4 week lead times. Page summary: also called spiral phase sheets, vortex optics, or Bessel amplitude-modulating spiral phase plates; English names Spiral Phase Plate or Vortex Phase-plate. Additional parameters: 2. Topological charge counts total phase cycles per revolution; typical 1~64. Higher charge gives larger rings and greater single-photon orbital angular momentum. 5. Ideal diffraction efficiency can exceed 90%. Image captions: schematic; interferometer test; output spot; focused output spot.

Applications

Orbital-angular-momentum communication and quantum optical field modulation: spiral phase plates continuously modulate the phase gradient of Gaussian input, converting planar to helical wavefronts and controllably adding orbital angular momentum. Modal multiplexing, quantum field preparation, and wavefront coding and decoding use different topological charges for parallel multichannel transmission and increased bandwidth and information capacity. Super-resolution microscopy and nondestructive annular micromachining: a central phase singularity creates a dark hollow core surrounded by a bright ring for stimulated-emission-depletion microscopy, suppressing peripheral fluorescence and enabling nanometer biological imaging beyond the diffraction limit. Precision drilling, film ring cutting, and brittle-material microcutting use the unheated center and concentrated edge energy to avoid central thermal damage and improve yield and precision. Optical tweezers, solar-corona stray-light suppression, and special IR illumination: redistributed energy and angular momentum rotate or trap cells, microparticles, and colloids without contact. Annular fields block central direct stray light for coronagraphy and provide uniform ring lighting for machine vision or diffuse IR illumination unavailable from conventional Gaussian spots.

Key Features

Efficient and stable: a purely passive optical element with high conversion efficiency, no power-supply requirement and stable performance. High damage threshold: solid dielectric materials withstand high-power lasers compared with liquid-crystal spatial light modulators. Easy operation: compact, plug-and-play structure and simple optical alignment. Extensive customization: wavelength, topological charge, aperture, surface structure and coating can be tailored for research experiments and standardized industrial equipment.
