초록

We show that when an optical vortex with a topological charge n shifts from the optical axis of a Gaussian beam, the orbital angular momentum decreases, whereas the topological charge remains unchanged. We experimentally confirmed this phenomenon with the aid of a q-plate array generated in a liquid crystal cell filled with a frustrated chiral nematic. We also theoretically proved that the topological charge of an optical vortex is conserved when the optical vortex is displaced from the axis.
