Abstract
We show that optical vortices and J(0) Bessel-like beams can be generated v ia traveling-wave linear parametric amplification of the quantum noise, in the absence of external seeding or resonator feedback. The shot-to-shot flu ctuations in the topological charge of the amplified signal are driven by t he quantum-noise seed. [S0031-9007(98)07767-9].
