Аннотация:The development of an adaptive system for the transformation of optical vortex is undertaken. Content of work consists of generation of a vortex with preset properties, measurement of its wave front by a Shack-Hartmann sensor and its correction by means of an adaptive mirror. The first stage of work has been realized on formation a Laguerre-Gauss beam with the help of the amplitude diffraction gratings and special phase plates fabricated on kinoform technology.
