Abstract

Carrying orbital angular momentum per photon, the optical vortex has elicited widespread interest. Here, we demonstrate that dual coaxial longitudinal polarization vortices can appear upon a nonparaxial propagation of a tightly focused Pancharatnam-Berry tailored Laguerre-Gaussian beam. Most importantly, it is capable of accessing arbitrary independent topological charges for both vortices, as well as predesigned tunable spacing distances between them.
