Optical vortices are topological dislocations due to phase singularities in light beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM). The wavefront of the electromagnetic wave that carries OAM is twisted around its axis of propagation, with a helicoidal shape. Along the axis of the helicoid the phase is undefined, so the waves cancel each other out. Hence, the intensity distribution of a vortex presents a dark core due to the destructive interference, that is surrounded by a ’ring of light’. The vortex is characterized by a number, called the topological charge that indicates how many 2π-twists the
