An obliquely incident Gaussian beam is reflected from a spiral phase mirror and is converted into an optical vortex beam with a desired topological charge. The mirrors were fabricated by mechanical machining. The designed vortex properties of reflected waves were investigated experimentally by using a low-power test, where the designed topological charge was verified based on the interference pattern between a vortex beam and a Gaussian-like beam. The designed topological charge was also estimated by using a phase retrieval method specialized for a vortex beam. These off-axis spiral phase mirrors can be used for propagation experiments of radio frequency waves with helical wavefronts in magnetized plasma.}, title = {Development of off-axis spiral phase mirrors for generating optical vortices in a range of millimeter waves}, volume = {93}, year = {2022} }
