摘要：
We explore the spatial frequency property of the far-field diffraction intensity pattern of an optical vortex after passing through an annular aperture in detail. The result reveals that the spatial spectrum consists of alternate bright and dark rings and, in particular, the number of the bright rings is nicely identical to the absolute value of the topological charge. Based on this property, we present and demonstrate a simple technique to characterize the topological charge of an optical vortex through its diffraction intensity pattern after an annular aperture.
