Artificial gauge fields in materials and engineered systems (2017, unknown): “conversion of spin to orbital angular momentum [423,424,425,426,427], as well as large spin-dependent beam shifts and deflections [428,429,430,431,432,433,434].”
Advances in communications using optical vortices (2016, background): “, OAM beams) include the use of spiral phase plates (SPPs) [43], cylindrical lens pairs [44], commercially available SLM [45–47], q-plate [48], fiber devices [49–51], photonic integrated devices [52,53], and metamaterials/metasurfaces [54–56].”

High-purity orbital angular momentum states from a visible metasurface laser (2020, background): “HOPS beams are easily generated using geometric and dynamic phase approaches external and internal to lasers [3-5], and have found applications in imaging, spectroscopy, laser materials processing, communication and even some quantum tasks [6].”
Complete experimental toolbox for alignment-free quantum communication (2012, background): “We note that the radial profile of the |l〉o and|r〉o states generated by the q-plate is not exactly Laguerre-Gauss (see Supplementary Information for more de tails), but this does not affect their pure OAM-eigenstate r otational behavior [22].”
