  1. We present a novel technique for generating beams of light carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) that increases mode purity and decreases singularity splitting by orders of magnitude. This technique also works to control and mitigate beam divergence within propagation distances less than the Rayleigh length. Additionally, we analyze a tunable parameter of this technique that can change the ratio of beam purity to power to fit desired specifications. Beam generation via this technique is achievable using only phase-modulating optical elements, which reduces experimental complexity and beam energy loss.

  2. We demonstrate a microring laser generating vortex beams with topological charge. By implementing a chiral S-bend element inside the active ring and a second-order grating structure around the sidewall, this system could effectively down-convert the large order whispering gallery mode to on-demand OAM values.
