Tailoring the coherence–OAM matrices

Abstract
We establish a general framework for introducing novel, to the best of our knowledge, classes of beams possessing precisely tailored coherence-orbital angular momentum (COAM) matrices, with the help of Bochner's theorem. The theory is illustrated by several examples relating to COAM matrices having a finite and infinite number of elements.
