Abstract

We demonstrate the efficient sorter of Bessel beams separating both the azimuthal and radial components. This is based upon the recently reported transformation of angular to transverse momentum states. We separately identify over forty azimuthal and radial components, with a radial spacing of 1588 m<sup>−1</sup>, and outline how the device could be used to identify the two spatial dimensions simultaneously.
