Physical Review Letters – 23 May 2003
Volume 90, Issue 20

Experimental images of optical-beam profiles: in (a) the beam carries l=1 orbital angular momentum (showing a characteristic doughnut profile), while (b) is an l=0 reference beam. Frames (c)-(f) show the interference between these beams when a dynamical phase is added to (b), and (g)-(f) show the interference when a geometric phase is added to (a). [E. J. Galvez, P. R. Crawford, H. I. Sztul, M. J. Pysher, P. J. Haglin, and R. E. Williams, Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 203901 (2003)]
