Abstract:
Analytical expressions in terms of hypergeometric function are obtained that describe the Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction of a plane wave of finite radius by a spiral phase plate (SPP) of any integer order. The experimental diffraction patterns obtained using the SPP made on a resist by direct recording by an electron beam are in good agreement with the estimated intensity distributions.

Keywords:
hypergeometric function, Fresnel describe, Fraunhofer diffraction, spiral phase plate, SPP
