This concise tutorial serves as a guide to the generation and characterisation of higher-order optical mode bases, such as HG, LG, OAM, IG, MG, Ski de fond - Accessoires - Tuques BG, and various vector modes.It succinctly outlines the creation methods and practicalities for these structured light forms using liquid crystal spatial light modulators and digital micro-mirror devices.An overview of Lacrosse - Shoes measurement and characterisation using modal decomposition, and approaches to measure and characterise vector beams is also given (Stokes polarimetry and vector quality factor).The tutorial concludes with a brief discussion on the effects of varying coherence on these complex light structures, providing essential insights for anyone starting out in the field of photonics.
