此論文利用軸稜錐透鏡搭配雙凸透鏡產生瓶型光束(bottle beam)當作泵源，使輸出雷射具有軌道角動量(orbital angular momentum)，並通過改變增益晶體Nd:YVO4晶體泵浦的位置，得到帶有不同的軌道角動量的光學渦流。同時透過ABCD law計算三面鏡共振腔穩定區範圍(0≤G1G2≤1)以及共振腔中的光斑大小(Spot size)，在雷射共振腔中加入Cr4+:YAG飽和吸收體當作Q開關(Q switch)來產生脈衝雷射，並且是具有光學渦流特性的脈衝雷射，藉由馬赫-曾爾德干涉儀(Mach-Zehnder interferometer)以及示波器來確認輸出雷射的拓樸股數以及脈衝物理性質，確實產生具股數為1的光學渦流脈衝雷射。

In this thesis, we use an axicon lens with a lens to generate a bottle beam as a pump source, so that the output laser has orbital angular momentum. By changing the pump position of the gain crystal Nd:YVO4 crystal, obtain optical vortices with different orbital angular momentum. We calculate the stable range 0≤G1G2≤1 of the three-element resonant cavity and the spot size in the resonant cavity by ABCD law, and add a Cr4+:YAG saturable absorber the Q switch to generate a pulsed laser with OAM. Use a Mach-Zehnder interferometer and an oscilloscope to confirm the topological charge of the output laser and the physical properties of the pulse. Finally, we generate an optical vortex pulse laser with a topological charge of 1.
