Abstract
This Letter demonstrates optical vortex lattices based on holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (HPDLC) films. The fabrication method uses a phase-only reflective spatial light modulator with numerically calculated phase profiles loaded on it to simplify multi-helical-wave interference. The beam profiles of the diffraction beams are simulated using the Fourier transform and compared with experimental results. The topological charges of the 1st-order diffraction beams reconstructed from the HPDLC films are examined using a Michelson interferometer.
