(a) Normalized electric field E_y of the transmitted pulse in the x–y plane of z = 0 at t = 56 fs when the laser is transmitted. (b) Normalized transverse intensity distribution of the fundamental vortex laser in the y–z plane integrated over x = 16–20 λ, where x = 16 λ is the location of the viewer screen. (c) Normalized transverse intensity distribution of the third vortex harmonics in the y–z plane integrated over x = 16–20 λ.
