Optical field manipulation, an emerging frontier in photonics, demonstrates significant potential in biomedical microscopy, quantum state engineering, and micro-nano fabrication. To address the critical limitations of current optical modulation technologies in achieving full-parameter precision control, in this study, we proposed a novel approach for dynamic azimuthal optical field modulation based on dual-spiral arrays. By designing spatially interleaved spiral structures with different initial radii while maintaining identical periodic parameters, we achieved continuous optical modulation spanning the full 0–2π range in azimuthal field distribution. Through rigorous numerical simulations, we systematically established a quantitative correlation between the structural parameters and azimuthal optical field patterns, revealing, for the first time, a quasi-linear relationship between the radius difference and the resultant optical distribution. This theoretical framework advances our fundamental understanding of structured optical field manipulation as well as provides a new paradigm for programmable photonic device design, with distinct technical advantages in super-resolution imaging and optical tweezer systems.
