Abstract
We present a compact integrated structure to generate optical orbital angular momentum (OAM) beams, where a simple waveguide structure with a trench is formed on a silicon platform. Numerical simulations show that OAM beams with topological charges of ±1 could be achieved over a wide wavelength range from 1.45 µm to 1.65 µm.
