• We propose an effective method to measure the orbital angular momentum of a perfect optical vortex (POV) beam with a hybrid angular gradient phase grating (HAG-PG), which is a gradient grating with angular changing distribution. The HAG-PG performs the transformation from the POV to the dark stripes of the diffraction intensity patterns. From the number and the orientation of dark stripes of far-field diffraction patterns formed by the HAG-PG, the modulus of TC and sign of the incident POV beam can be determined. The high scalability of this method for being unrestricted by the Fourier plane and its adaptation for measuring the POV beams with different states are demonstrated by loading the HAG-PG hologram on a spatial light modulator. And the detection sensitivity of the POV beam can be significantly improved. The experimental results agree well with the theoretical simulations.
