摘要
We investigate the orbital angular momentum (OAM) flux density of beams which are the incoherent superposition of partially coherent vortex (PCV) beams with different topological charges and beam widths. Simulation results show that such beams can exhibit counter-rotating radial regions of the OAM flux density, and that we can "switch" the order of these regions by adjusting the topological charges and beam widths in the source plane. Furthermore, these counter-rotating regions can switch on propagation in free space without any change to the beam parameters. We discuss how these unusual OAM dynamics may find use in OAM-based applications.
