Abstract: The concept of a quadratic vortex beam is proposed, in which phase term of the beam is given by exp(i 2). The phase of the quadratic vortex beam increases with azimuthal angle nonlinearly. This change in phase produces several unexpected effects. Unlike the circularly symmetric beam spot of normal vortex beams, the intensity distribution of the quadratic vortex beam is shown to be asymmetric. The phase singularities will shift in the transverse beam plane on propagation.

Key words: vortex beam, phase singularity, propagation dynamics
