Higher order beams and superpositions. a Generation of an array of Hermite-Gaussian HG10 beams. b Superposition of Laguerre-Gaussian beams LG00 and LG01 of equal amplitudes. c Superposition of Laguerre-Gaussian beams LG00 and LG01 of different amplitudes. d Superposition of Laguerre-Gaussian beams LG00 and LG02 of different amplitudes. e-f Examples demonstrating the limits of the generation of structured light with only 16 emitters. e Generation of an array of rotated Hermite-Gaussian HG22 beams. While most features of this target distribution still resemble well in the far field, it can be seen that individual diffraction orders come very close. f Generation of an array of Laguerre-Gaussian beams LG03. The target distribution is not sufficiently sampled, resulting in overlapping diffraction orders. Notably, this behaviour is well predictable by theory, as simulation and experiment of the generated light are in excellent agreement.
