an acousto-optic deflector adapted to receive an input beam deflected along an optical axis when a voltage is applied to the acousto-optic deflector wherein the acousto-optic deflector outputs a first output beam having a first deflection beam and a second deflection beam wherein the first deflection beam is in a tilted phase relative to an axis of propagation;

a line generator disposed along the optical axis adapted to receive the first output beam and provide a second output beam having an elliptical beam; and,

a log-polar optics assembly disposed along the optical axis adapted to receive the second output beam and adapted to transform the second output beam into a third output beam having an asymmetric annular-distribution and to provide a fourth output linear phase wrapped into an asymmetric ring with azimuthal orbital angular momentum phase wherein the log-polar optics assembly includes a first log-polar optic and a second log-polar optic cooperatively associated to map the second output beam to an asymmetric ring profile.
