Unravelling the nonlinear generation of designer vortices with dielectric metasurfaces by Laure Coudrat, Guillaume Boulliard, Jean-Michel Gérard, Aristide Lemaître, Aloyse Degiron, Giuseppe Leo

“…Through full-wave simulations and a proper fabrication protocol, we achieve efficient frequency doubling of an unstructured pump beam into SH vortices with topological charges from 1 to 10. Interferometric and modal-purity measurements confirm the generation of high-quality SH vortices with minimal deviations from the intended design thanks to a quasi-local control over the SH phase. …”
