摘要： This paper introduces a novel method to realize the superposition of orbital angular momentum of photons by combined computer-generated hologram (CCGH) fabricated in silica glass with femtosecond laser pulses. Firstly, the two computer-generated holograms (CGH) of optical vortex were obtained and combined as a CCGH according to the design. Then the CCGH was directly written inside glass by femtosecond laser pulses induced microexplosion without any pre- or post-treatment of the material. The vortex beams with different vortex topological charges (including new topological charges) have been restructured using a collimated He--Ne laser beam incidence to the CCGH normally. A theoretical and experimental explanation has been presented for the generations of the new topological charges.
