Fig. 2: Comparison of beam size dependence on topological charge between Laguerre-Gaussian beam (LGB) and achromatic non-diffracting perfect vortex beam (ANPVB).

a1–c1 Intensity and (a2–c2) phase profiles at z = 18 mm of the LGBs with l = 1, 15 and 30, respectively. d1–f1 Intensity and (d2–f2) phase profiles at z = 18 mm of the proposed ANPVB of (α = 18, β = 0.8, γ = 3, t = 700, δ = 1, R = 0.54 mm, l = 1, 15 and 30) respectively. The scale bars in (a1) and (d1) represent 1 mm and 0.3 mm, respectively.
