Generation of orbital angular momentum through twisted Variable retarders
Polarized light passing through twisted special wave plates show entangled state of both SAM and OAM. The variable circular and linear retarders (VCR and VLR) are studied here from the view point of quantum processing of entangled states. Interestingly the geometric phase in association with twist dependent gain of OAM has been discussed here. As an application of VLR, the origin of gradual flattened shape of wave fronts through successive array of antennas (QHQ) has been explained through new physical approach of the concurrence of entangled states.
