Optical beams with orbital angular momentum (OAM) have proved useful for different applications, from quantum optics to optical telecommunication and to microscopy. Different methods have been proposed for the generation of such beams and here we demonstrate, in VirtualLab Fusion, how to use a spiral phase plate to generate beams carrying OAM. A programmable interface is used to describe the spiral phase plate with customizable parameters, and the microstructure component is used for its modeling.
