In this paper, we characterize the helical beam structure through an analysis of the spiral character of the phase distribution inside a light beam. In particular, we show that a line connected with the 2π phase jump in the Laguerre–Gauss beam can be described by a Fermat’s spiral. We propose a numerical fitting method to determine the parameters of a spiral equation for the phase distribution of the helical beam. Next, we extend the procedure to a vortex beam created by the spiral phase plate and apply it to experimental phase maps, which allows us to recover the phase shift introduced into the object beam in the optical vortex scanning microscope.

We investigate a multispiral phase plate (MSPP) with multiple centers of phase singularity arbitrarily located in the MSPP plane. Equations to describe the topological charge of an optical vortex in the initial plane immediately behind the MSPP and orbital angular momentum (OAM) normalized relative to the beam power are derived. The topological charge in the initial plane is found as a sum of the topological charges of all singularities if their centers are located inside a finite-radius circular aperture. If the phase singularity centers are partially located on the boundary of a circular diaphragm limiting the MSPP, the total topological charge is found as the sum of all singularities divided by 2. Total OAM that the vortex carries depends on the location of the singularity centers: the farther from the center of the plate the singularity center is located, the smaller is its contribution to the OAM. If all singularity centers are located on the boundary of the diaphragm limiting MSPP, then the OAM of the vortex beam equals zero, although in this case the topological charge of the beam is nonzero.

The possibility of constructing a near-infrared atmospheric optical communication system based on a pair of media converters of a signal format 100Base-TX / 1000BASE-T to format 1000BASE-SX / LX with SFP transceivers DEM-310GT was experimentally investigated. The FAN-OUT TUBING FTB900 SN-Y4 fiber cable connector, coming from the receiving radiation collimator for matching with the DEM-310GT transceiver, was modified. The transmitting radiation collimator is supplemented by a spiral phase plate to form a vortex beam. The influence of atmospheric influence on the data rate is analyzed.
