  • Abstract
    Beams of millimeter-wave radiation carrying phase singularities have been generated using specially configured plane and blazed gratings. The blazed grating converts a plane wave into such a beam with very high efficiency. All of the properties of these beams that have been seen at optical wavelengths, such as the hollow profiles of the beams and the way a beam already carrying a singularity is subsequently diffracted, are shown to appear at millimeter wavelengths
