How do we restrict to a limited number of dimensions, say 3 for qutrits, while using OAM states of light?

When a azimuthal phase $\mathrm{e}^{il\phi}$ is applied to gaussian beams having plane wavefront, they develop a corkscrew sort of structure and therefore possess an orbital angular momentum in ...
