The interference of Laguerre-Gaussian beams carrying orbital angular momentum was demonstrated in Young's double-slit geometry. Double-slit interference is shown to be affected by the azimuthal phase dependence of a Laguerre-Gaussian beam. This interference provides new insight into the helical phase structure of the Laguerre-Gaussian beam and has potential applications for measuring the orbital angular momentum of an arbitrary wavefront. © 2006 Optical Society of America.
