| contents | Recently, spatiotemporal optical vortices (STOVs) with transverse orbital angular momentum have emerged as a significant research topic. While various STOV fields have been explored, they often suffer from a critical limitation: the spatial and temporal dimentions of the STOV wavepacket are strongly correlated with the topological charge. This dependence hinders the simultaneous achievement of high spatial accuracy and high topological charge. To address this limitation, we theoretically and experimentally investigate a new class of STOV wavepackets generated through the spatiotemporal Fourier transform of polychromatic Bessel-Gaussian beams, which we term as perfect spatiotemporal optical vortices. Unlike conventional STOVs, perfect STOVs exhibit spatial and temporal diameters that are independent of the topological charge. Furthermore, we demonstrate the generation of spatiotemporal optical vortex lattices by colliding perfect STOV wavepackets, enabling flexible manipulation of the number and sign of sub-vortices. |
