Abstract

A spiral phase plate, according to one embodiment, for generating a Laguerre Gaussian beam by reflecting an incident beam emitted from a light source, may comprise: a first quadrant area in which the step height increase rate per unit angle decreases progressively in one direction from the point with the lowest step height to the point with the highest step height; and a second quadrant area in which the step height increase rate per unit angle increases progressively in the one direction.
