Effect of turbulent atmosphere on the on-axis average intensity of Pearcey–Gaussian beam

The propagation characteristics of the Pearcey–Gaussian(PG) beam in turbulent atmosphere are investigated in this paper.The Pearcey beam is a new kind of paraxial beam,based on the Pearcey function of catastrophe theory,which describes diffraction about a cusp caustic.By using the extended Huygens–Fresnel integral formula in the paraxial approximation and the Rytov theory,an analytical expression of axial intensity for the considered beam family is derived.Some numerical results for PG beam propagating in atmospheric turbulence are given by studying the influences of some factors,including incident beam parameters and turbulence strengths.

The effect of non-Kolmogorov turbulence on the propagation of cosh-Gaussian beam

The propagation of cosh-Gaussian beam in turbulence with different power spectral density of refractive index is investigated. By using the expansion of mutual coherence function in Taylor series, analytical expression for the average intensity is presented. With the help of this expression, the intensity profiles with different parameters are analyzed. Relative errors of the analytical expression are studied, and the effects of power spectral density on beam spreading and evolvement are discussed in details. It shows that the analytical expression should provide reasonable approximations to study the propagation of cosh-Gaussian in non-Obukhov-Kolmogorov turbulence.     

Moments of intensity distribution of super-Gauss beam in turbulent atmosphere

Moment of intensity distribution is one of the most important parameters in studying the propagation of a beam in turbulent atmosphere. With the help of Wigner transform and the expansion of mutual coherence function (MCF) of turbulence, a relation between the moment of intensity distribution and the moment of power spectrum of refractive index fluctuations is found. The study shows that the jth-order moment of beam intensity distribution is only affected by the moment of power spectrum of refractive index fluctuations which order is not larger than j. Meanwhile, the expressions for the moment of beam intensity distribution, in which order is not larger than the fourth order are given. As a special case, the moments of the super-Gaussian beam (SGB) in turbulence are studied. The evolution of the kurtosis parameters of SGB under different condition is investigated in detail.     

Influence of atmospheric turbulence on the propagation of superimposed partially coherent Hermite-Gaussian beams

The influence of atmospheric turbulence on the propagation of superimposed partially coherent Hermite-Gaussian (H-G) beams is studied in detail. The closed-form propagation equation of superimposed partially coherent H-G beams through atmospheric turbulence is derived. It is shown that the turbulence accelerates the evolution of three stages which superimposed partially coherent H-G beams undergo. The turbulence results in a beam spreading and a decrease of the maximum intensity. However, the larger the beam number M, the beam order m, the separate distance x_d, and the smaller the beam correlation length σ₀ are, the less the power focusability of superimposed partially coherent H-G beams is affected by the turbulence. Specially, superimposed partially coherent H-G beams are less sensitive to turbulence than superimposed fully ones, and than partially coherent H-G beams if the beam power focusability and the maximum intensity are taken as beam criterions. However, the maximum intensity of superimposed partially coherent H-G beams is less sensitive or more sensitive to turbulence than that of superimposed Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beams depending on σ₀.

基于蒙特卡罗方法的XHA600D医用电子直线加速器的入射电子束参数研究

使用蒙特卡罗方法研究入射电子束参数对XHA600D医用电子直线加速器产生的剂量分布的影响,并确定优化的入射电子束参数。根据厂商提供的XHA600D加速器治疗头的几何、材料参数,使用蒙特卡罗程序EGSnrc对不同的入射电子束参数进行模拟并记录其在水模体中产生的剂量分布,将模拟结果与测量结果进行比较。模拟的入射电子束参数包括平均能量、径向强度分布、角度展宽和能量展宽;实验测量数据包括4 cm×4 cm、10 cm×10 cm、30 cm×30 cm射野条件下的百分深度剂量与离轴剂量。结果表明当入射电子束的平均能量为6 MeV、径向强度的半高宽(Full Width at Half Maximum, FWHM)为0.25 cm、角度展宽为0.15°时,模拟结果和测量结果吻合非常好。这些参数可以作为建立适用于XHA600D加速器的TPS(Treatment Planning System)剂量计算模型的基础参数。     

湍流对M×N列阵双曲余弦高斯光束传输和远场光束质量的影响

基于广义惠更斯－菲涅耳原理,并采用光束的非相干合成方法,推导出了M×N双曲余弦高斯列阵光束在湍流中的三维光强传输方程.采用桶中功率、β参量和Strehl比作为光束质量的评价参量,研究了湍流大气对双曲余弦高斯列阵光束远场光束质量的影响.研究表明:在湍流大气中,双曲余弦高斯列阵光束的传输将经历三个阶段的变化,并且湍流使得光束传输经历三阶段的进程加快;湍流导致双曲余弦高斯列阵光束扩展、最大峰值光强下降,但是,β参量随光束数目M（N）、相邻子光束间距xd（yd）和光束参量δ的增加而减少,即光束扩展受湍流的影响减小;并且,存在最佳xd（yd）和δ值使得Strehl比取得极大值.因此,适当选取M（N）、xd（yd）和δ可以降低湍流对双曲余弦高斯列阵光束远场光束质量的影响.

Intensity and coherence properties of light in oceanic turbulence

Using the Rytov method and Belen'kii and Mironov's method of effective beam parameters for strong turbulence regimes, the intensity and coherence properties of a Gaussian beam propagating through the clear-water turbulent ocean are explored. The refractive index fluctuations are described by a recently developed power spectrum combining the effects from both temperature and salinity. Due to the complicated nature of the oceanic turbulence spectrum, the analysis is restricted to numerical computations.     

Propagation of non-uniformly polarized beams in a turbulent atmosphere

Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel diffraction integral, the propagation of non-uniformly polarized (NUP) beam in a turbulent atmosphere has been investigated. The influence of the source parameters and the atmospheric turbulence on the intensity distribution and polarization distribution has been studied in great details. It is shown that the non-uniform polarization of the beam influences the intensity distribution and makes the polarization distribution oscillate in the output plane. It is also found that the atmospheric turbulence can reduce the influence of non-uniform polarization of the beam on the intensity distribution and polarization distribution in the output plane.

Elegant Laguerre-Gaussian beam in a turbulent atmosphere

Paraxial propagation of an elegant Laguerre-Gaussian beam (ELGB) in a turbulent atmosphere is investigated in detail. Analytical formulae for the average intensity and effective beam size of an ELGB in a turbulent atmosphere are derived based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel integral. The average intensity and spreading properties of an ELGB in a turbulent atmosphere are studied numerically and compared with those of a standard Laguerre-Gaussian beam (SLGB). Our results indicate that the propagation properties of an ELGB in a turbulent atmosphere are much different from its properties in free space, and are closely related to its beam parameters and the structure constant of the atmospheric turbulence. The ELGB with higher mode orders is less affected by the turbulence. The SLGB spreads more rapidly than the ELGB in a turbulent atmosphere under the same conditions. Our results will be useful in long-distance free-space optical communications. ©2010 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.     

Long- and short-term average intensity for multi-Gaussian beam with a common axis in turbulence

With the help of the extended Huygens--Fresnel principle and the short-term mutual coherence function, the analytical formula of short-term average intensity for multi-Gaussian beam (MGB) in the turbulent atmosphere has been derived. The intensity in the absence of turbulence and the long-term average intensity in turbulence can both also be expressed in this formula. As special cases, comparisons among short-term average intensity, long-term average intensity, and the intensity in the absence of turbulence for flat topped beam and annular beam are carried out. The effects of the order of MGB, propagation distance and aperture radius on beam spreading are analysed and discussed in detail.
