Abstract

We present the topological-charge-dispersion reduction scheme in optical vortex generation using axially symmetric half-wave plates (AHPs). The topological-charge dispersion caused by retardation errors of AHPs and other waveplates is decreased by eliminating unwanted circular-polarization components.
