Propagation and the kurtosis parameter of Gaussian flat-topped beams in uniaxial crystals orthogonal to the optical axis

The analytical formulae for the Gaussian flat-topped beams propagating in uniaxial crystals orthogonal to the optical axis are derived. The numerical results show that the Gaussian flat-topped beams spread at different rates in the directions parallel and orthogonal to the optical axis due to anisotropic crystals. An analytical expression for the kurtosis parameter of the Gaussian flat-topped beams propagating in uniaxial crystals is derived and illustrated with numerical examples. It is shown that the evolution of the kurtosis parameters K_x and K_y depend on the ratio of extraordinary to ordinary refractive indices.     

Comparison of the Gaussian-decomposition and the Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction methods in circular and elliptic Gaussian beams

This study is useful for materials exhibit optical Kerr effect such as two photon absorption and thermo-optical nonlinearities.

Detailed numerical examples are given to illustrate the analytical results.     

A review of the numerical investigation on the scattering of Gaussian beam by complex particles

The study of light scattering by various particles is an active and important subject of research with myriad practical applications. During the years the scattering of plane wave by various particles has been investigated extensively. In recent years, with the development of laser sources and the tremendous expansion of their application, there has been a growing interest in the study of light scattering by various particles illuminated by a focused Gaussian beam. Since the analytical methods are only suitable for the analysis of Gaussian beam scattering by some regular particles, for complex particles with arbitrary shape and structure, one has to resort to the numerical methods. In this article, we review the recent numerical investigation on the scattering of Gaussian beam by systems of complex particles, including arbitrarily shaped conducting particles, dielectric particles, composite particles with inclusions, as well as random discrete particles and fractal soot aggregates. The essential formulations of the proposed numerical methods are outlined and the numerical results for some complex particles are also presented. This review is expected to provide useful help for the study of the interaction between the laser beams and the complex particles.     

Rightfulness of Summation Cut-Offs in the Albedo Problem with Gaussian Fluctuations of the Density of Scatterers

The one-dimensional version of the radiative transfer problem (i.e. the so-called rod model) is analysed with a Gaussian random extinction function (x). Then the optical length X = ₀ ^Ldx(x) is a Gaussian random variable. The transmission and reflection coefficients, T(X) and R(X), are taken as infinite series. When these series (and also when the series representing T ²(X), T ²(X), R(X)T(X), etc.) are averaged, term by term, according to the Gaussian statistics, the series become divergent after averaging. As it was shown in a former paper by the authors (in Acta Physica Slovaca (2003)), a rectification can be managed when a `modified' Gaussian probability density function is used, equal to zero for X > 0 and proportional to the standard Gaussian probability density for X > 0. In the present paper, the authors put forward an alternative, showing that if the m.s.r. of X is sufficiently small in comparison with , the standard Gaussian averaging is well functional provided that the summation in the series representing the variable T ^m-j (X)R ^j (X) (m = 1,2,..., j = 1,...,m) is truncated at a well-chosen finite term. The authors exemplify their analysis by some numerical calculations.     

Focusing of flattened Gaussian beams by an annular lens

Focusing properties of flattened Gaussian beams (FGBs) passing through an annular lens is studied based on the Collins formula. It is found that the on-axis irradiance distributions of focused FGBs are unsymmetrical with respect to the geometrical focal plane even for large values of Fresnel number F_w associated with the beam, so that there exist focal shifts in general. Detailed numerical results show the dependence of focal shifts on the beam and system parameters. Focal shifts of FGBs by a lens without central obscuration and focal shifts of Gaussian beams by an annular lens can be treated as special cases of the obscure ratio =0 and beam order N=0, respectively. Furthermore, focal shifts of plane waves by an annular lens can also be treated as a special case of N=0 and F_w→∞.

Propagation factors of Hermite–Gaussian beams in turbulent atmosphere

Based on the extended Huygens–Fresnel integral and the second-order moments of the Wigner distribution function, an analytical formulae for the propagation factors (M²-factors) of coherent and partially coherent one-dimensional Hermite–Gaussian beams in a turbulent atmosphere are derived. Evolution properties of the M²-factor of the Hermite–Gaussian beam in a turbulent atmosphere are studied numerically in detail. Our results show that the M²-factor of the Hermite–Gaussian beam increases upon propagation in a turbulent atmosphere. The M²-factor of the Hermite–Gaussian beam with larger beam order (or lower coherence) increases slower that of the Hermite–Gaussian beam with smaller beam order (or higher coherence) in a turbulent atmosphere, which means that the Hermite–Gaussian beam with a larger beam order and lower coherence is less affected by a turbulent atmosphere. Our results will be useful in long-distance free-space optical communications.

高斯拟合算法在光谱建模中的应用研究

采用高斯拟合算法对光谱进行特征提取,利用拟合得到的特征参量表征光谱信息,并结合多元校正方法对光谱模型进行优化和解释,建立了样品快速准确的测定方法。实验以玉米活体叶片为研究对象,建立叶片光谱与叶绿素含量之间的关系模型,采用三个高斯峰对原始光谱的1 551个数据拟合后,光谱数据转换为9个高斯特征量(约为整个波段的0.58%),进而利用该高斯特征量来预测叶绿素含量。实验结果显示,采用高斯拟合分别与偏最小二乘法和主成分回归结合建模,其预测集相关系数分别为0.960和0.962;不采用高斯拟合算法而直接采用偏最小二乘法和主成分回归对全光谱建模,其预测集相关系数分别为0.957和0.919。可见,将高斯拟合算法运用到定量分析模型中是可行的,该方法不仅简化了模型参数,而且提高了模型的可解释性。     

Irradiance-moments characterization of off-axis Gaussian beam combinations by means of the Wigner distribution function

The irradiance-moments characterization of off-axis Gaussian beam combinations is presented in use of the Wigner distribution function (WDF). Analytical expressions for the propagation through an optical paraxial ABCD system, beam propagation factor (M² factor), beam width, far field divergence angle and kurtosis parameter of the resultant beam are derived and illustrated with specific numerical examples. It is reexamined that a flat-topped irradiance profile of the resultant beam can be achieved at a certain plane by appropriately choosing beamlet parameters. As compared with previous work, our results show the advantage of using the WDF and irradiance-moments methods.

Propagation of elegant Laguerre–Gaussian beams through an annular apertured paraxial ABCD optical system

Based on the generalized Huygens–Fresnel diffraction integral and the expansion of the hard aperture function into a finite sum of complex Gaussian functions, the approximate analytical expression of elegant Laguerre–Gaussian beams passing through a paraxial ABCD optical system with an annular aperture is derived. Meanwhile, the corresponding closed-forms for the unapertured, circular apertured or circular black screen cases are also given. The obtained results provide more convenience for studying their propagation and transformation than the usual way by using diffraction integral formula directly. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate the propagation properties of elegant Laguerre–Gaussian beams.     

Introduction to light scattering by Gaussian random particles

Background, current status, and future prospects are offered for “Light scattering by Gaussian random particles: Ray-optics approximation” [1]. The stochastic geometry of the random particle is called the Gaussian random sphere. The radial distance of the Gaussian sphere is lognormally distributed. Two logarithmic radial distances at a given great-circle angle apart relate to one another according to the covariance function. Sample Gaussian particles can be conveniently generated using a Legendre polynomial expansion for the covariance function and a spherical harmonics expansion for the logarithmic radial distance. The ray-optics approximation consists of the geometric-optics and forward-diffraction parts fully accounting for polarization. It is valid for particles much larger than the wavelength of incident light and with central phase differences much larger than unity. The numerical ray-tracing algorithms are general and, in principle, applicable computationally to arbitrarily shaped non-spherical particles.
