Abstract A modified multiplexed vortex helico-conical petal-like zone plate (MMVHPZP) is proposed to generate a polygon-like beam or light-arm beam with an adjustable opening. The MMVHPZP consists of the modified helico-conical petal-like zone plate (MHPZP) with the topological charge l and exponent n, and the multiplexed vortex spiral phase plate (MVSPP) with the inner topological charge l1 and outer topological charge l2. Moreover, when l1 is equal or unequal to l2, the MMVHPZP has the adjustable polygon-like beam or light-arm beam, respectively. In addition, when n is small or large, the number of arms is equal to the absolute difference between l1 and l2 or the sum of one and the absolute difference between l1 and l2, respectively. Furthermore, for the different l1 or l2, the opening is constant. With the increase of the n or l, the opening is larger. When l1 is greater or less than l2, the rotation direction of arms is the anticlockwise or clockwise direction, respectively.

The analytical solution for the propagation of the laser beam with optical vortex through the system of lenses is presented. The optical vortex is introduced into the laser beam (described as Gaussian beam) by spiral phase plate. The solution is general as it holds for the optical vortex of any integer topological charge, the off-axis position of the spiral phase plate and any number of lenses. Some intriguing conclusions are discussed. The higher order vortices are unstable and split under small phase or amplitude disturbance. Nevertheless, we have shown that off-axis higher order vortices are stable during the propagation through the set of lenses described in paraxial approximation, which is untypical behavior. The vortex trajectory registered at image plane due to spiral phase plate shift behaves like a rigid body. We have introduced a new factor which in our beam plays the same role as Gouy phase in pure Gaussian beam.
