Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this paper, we explore the distribution of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) in the coaxial vortex superposition states based on the independent propagation principle of light in this interference process. We find that in this case, some specific singular points exist in the spatial intensity distribution. The first type of singular point is located at the center point of the spatial intensity distribution. The second type of specific singular point is at the critical location of the overlapping area in angular direction. By analogy with the angular momentum superposition of two axially rotating homogeneous disks with different radius in rigid body, We present a suggestion: the center point is located at the overlapping area of all the superposed components. Therefore, the topological charge value in the center point should be doubled by the actual number of superposition field components. The singular point at the critical location of the overlapping area in angular direction should also be co-owned by the superposition components outside the position of the ring (including the corresponding component of the ring). The total OAM is exactly equal to the sum of those two types contained in the superposition states, which is equal to the input OAM of the superposition state components. The conservation of the OAM in the coaxial interference process is demonstrated.
