Abstract
Once the fundamental mode waist is fixed, the beam size (transverse spot diameter) of a vortex beam is determined by its topological charge. The larger the absolute value of the topological charge, the larger the spot diameter and the larger the hollow region. This property makes it very limited in some applications. For example, in optical tweezers, a larger topological charge but a smaller spot diameter are usually required to achieve better capture performance, which can only be achieved by minimising the radius of the fundamental mode waist for conventional vortex beams.
