Abstract

We report on the dependence of the carrier frequency of a nondiffracting optical pulse on the amount of orbital angular momentum it carries. We provide a unified universal form of such a dependence for the cases of both scalar and vector pulses with arbitrary frequency spectra. For the case of paraxial optical pulses we consider two different examples, namely, pulses with exponentially decaying spectra and Gaussian spectra.
