The abstract, sentence by sentence
A light beam with phase singularity (PS) characterized with azimuthally symmetric angular positions (APs) can be constructed by the rotationally symmetric superposition of n (n is N) fractional vortex light beams with identical charges. The profile of this light beam deforms after propagation owing to its orbital angular momentum (OAM) noneigenvalue, and the deformation degree can be evaluated by the degree of phase dislocation associated with the PS. The expectation value of the mean deviation of its OAM from its characteristic charge value and the variation of the degree of phase dislocation obey a proportional relation. This light beam offers a quantifiable example of a complementarity relation between the observers of optical OAM and AP, which are the OAM noneigenvalue and intensity AP variation, respectively.
