From: Vortex Laser based on III-V semiconductor metasurface: direct generation of coherent Laguerre-Gauss modes carrying controlled orbital angular momentum

Figure 6

(a) Relative-Intensity-Noise RF spectrum of the vortex laser measured by integrating a fraction of the beam surface, for and fc = 12 MHz. (b) Measured and simulated beat frequencies between selected and vortex modes and residual contra-rotating modes, as a function of the modal phase perturbation amplitude |Δϕmodal|. The cavity frequency cutoff fc = 12 MHz (F = 625, ) is represented by dashed horizontal line splitting the figure into two parts: upper and lower with strong and weak control of the OAM sign respectively.
