Electron holography for vortex beams

摘要： A combined technology of vortex beam technique and electron holography has been developed. A range of about 10 times the diameter of the grating opening was irradiated and electron holography, electron vortex beam, orbital angular momentum, helical wavefront, wave propagation two-wave interference between a Bragg diffraction wave as a vortex beam and transmitted wave from and around a fork-shaped grating was recorded as a hologram. Reconstruction by using the Fourier transform method has been simultaneously performed for amplitude and phase distributions. Furthermore, by using a wave aberration function, amplitude and phase distributions at various propagation positions were reconstructed numerically, resulting in confirmation of vortex beam twists.
