Abstract
We present a ray transfer matrix for a spiral phase plate. Using this matrix, we determine the stability of an optical resonator made of two spiral phase plates, and trace stable ray orbits in the resonator. Our results should be relevant to laser physics, optical micromanipulation, quantum information and optomechanics.
