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.

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.
