I thought this was interesting. Non-linear CGH can alter the phase and amplitude of a Gaussian beam. From the paper:
"Specifically, nonlinear CGH were recently used to convert a fundamental Gaussian beam into high order
Hermite-Gauss or Laguerre-Gauss beam at the second harmonic [1-4].

[2] N. Voloch-Bloch, K. Shemer, A. Shapira, R. Shiloh, I. Juwiler, and A. Arie, Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 233902 (2012).

As some of you might know, Laguerre-Gauss beams carry angular momentum, and can, therefore, cause particles to rotate, hence these beams are called "optical vortices". They're not easy to produce, but now a computer generated hologram can produce them.
