We present a method to efficiently multiply or divide the orbital angular momentum(OAM)of light beams using a sequence of two optical *** key element is represented by an optical transformation mapping the azimuthal phase gradient of the input OAM beam onto a circular *** combining multiple circular-sector transformations into a single optical element,it is possible to multiply the value of the input OAM state by splitting and mapping the phase onto complementary circular ***,by combining multiple inverse transformations,the division of the initial OAM value is achievable by mapping distinct complementary circular sectors of the input beam into an equal number of circular phase *** elements have been fabricated in the form of phase-only diffractive optics with high-resolution electron-beam *** tests confirm the capability of the multiplier optics to perform integer multiplication of the input OAM,whereas the designed dividers are demonstrated to correctly split up the input beam into a complementary set of OAM *** elements can find applications for the multiplicative generation of higher-order OAM modes,optical information processing based on OAM beam transmission,and optical routing/switching in telecom.

Metallic gratings are known to support the excitation and propagation of electromagnetic surface modes, the so called Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs). Patterned metallic substrates have been nanofabricated by interferential lithography and subsequent thermal evaporation, and their plasmonic response has been analyzed in the visible range. A numerical code was implemented in order to simulate SPP excitation and propagation on the structure. In recent papers, we experimentally demonstrated how the azimuthal rotation of the grating originates an unexpected polarization phenomenology and provides benefits for plasmonic applications. Numerical simulations confirm the experimental results and complete the analysis with a study of the plasmonic near-field on the metallic surface in the conical mounting.
