Recently, the ultrafast photonics research team from the School of Optoelectronic Engineering at Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology, in collaboration with Zhejiang Gongshang University, Jilin University, and other academic institutions, introduced an innovative approach for customizing perfect optical vortex combs. This approach is grounded in the theoretical framework of perfect vortex beams. Utilizing a diffractive neural network, the method allows for agile and precise adjustment of the ring diameters of various modes within vortex combs, effectively resolving the problem of inconsistent 'tooth lengths' that has plagued traditional optical vortex combs. The research team successfully designed target perfect optical vortex combs and experimentally constructed and tested three distinct types of perfect optical vortex combs. This breakthrough offers a fresh technological avenue for applications in optical communication and precision measurement, promising to boost the efficiency and reliability of information transmission.
