Such a method does not a priori assume a phase formula, but rather relies on the 'cake-cutting and assembly' approach to achieve the azimuthal phase gradient for beam shaping, inspired by the orbital motion trajectory change of an artificial satellite. Based on our method, several typical vortex beams with desired intensity patterns are experimentally generated.
