LBTEK Half-inch Vortex Retarders with topological charge m = 1–9 are mounted in a specially designed fixture, forming a 3 × 3 square array. Following the left-to-right, top-to-bottom order, the topological charges m are 1–9, with a center-to-center distance of 15 mm between adjacent units. The clear aperture of each unit is Ø10 mm, suitable for beam sizes from Ø0.3 mm to Ø10.0 mm. It can generate Laguerre-Gaussian beam arrays with l = ±1–±9 or various vector polarized beam arrays.

LBTEK Monolithic VRA with topological charge m = 1–9 can generate Laguerre-Gaussian beams with l = ±1–±9 and various vector polarized beams. The entire structure is integrated on a 1-inch substrate with a total clear aperture of 15 mm × 15 mm, making it highly compact. Each sub-unit is 5 mm × 5 mm, suitable for incident beam sizes from Ø0.3 mm to Ø3.2 mm. Markings are engraved on the 1-inch mechanical barrel housing to help users identify the arrangement of m values: the locations marked with both an engraved line and a dot, and with only an engraved line, correspond to the m = 1 and m = 9 units, respectively. From the engraved line to the dot at the m = 1 unit, the direction follows increasing m in the order 1, 2, 3.
