What is it about?
This work reports the measurement of a frequency shift of optical beams carrying Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) upon reflection on a rotating right angle prism. This rotational Doppler shift is observed via the interference of OAM beams with opposite topological charges leading to the rotation of the Daisy like interference pattern.
