Fabrication of apodized apertures for laser beam attenuation

To obtain maximum energy output from a high-power laser system it is necessary to carefully shape the input beam's cross-sectional intensity profile. This avoids diffraction-produced hot spots which can cause damage to the amplifier components. The intensity should be at a maximum in the central part of the beam and fall of gradually at the edges to avoid hard-edge diffraction effects. This kind of beam profile can be produced using an apodized aperture — a soft-edged aperture that may be constructed in various ways. This report describes a photographic rotating-film technique for fabricating apodized apertures from photo-sensitive glass plates.     

A simple analytical model of the angular momentum transformation in strongly focused light beams

A ray-optics model is proposed to describe the vector beam transformation in a strongly focusing optical system. In contrast to usual approaches based on the focused field distribution near the focal plane, we use the beam pattern formed immediately after the exit aperture. In this cross section, details of the output field distribution are of minor physical interest but proper allowance is made for transformation of the beam polarization state. This enables the spin and orbital angular momentum representations to be obtained, which are valid for any cross section of the transformed beam. Simple analytical results are available for a transversely homogeneous, circularly polarized incident beam confined by a circular aperture. Variations of the spin and orbital angular momenta of the output beam with change of the focusing strength are analyzed. The analytical results are in good qualitative and reasonable quantitative agreement with the results of numerical calculations performed for the Gaussian and Laguerre-Gaussian beams. The model supplies an efficient and physically transparent means for qualitative analysis of the spin-to-orbital angular momentum conversion. It can be generalized to incident beams with complex spatial and polarization structure.     

Beam spreading of truncated Gaussian beams in Kolmogorov turbulence

Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle and the hard-edge aperture function expanded as the sum of finite-term complex Gaussian function, analytical expression for average intensity of truncated Gaussian beam in Kolmogorov turbulence is derived, and some limiting cases are discussed. The influences of many factors, such as Fresnel number, wavelength, truncation parameter and structure constant on beam spreading are studied with the help of the average intensity formula. We found that the peak value of average intensity decreases and the beam spot spreads with the decrease of Fresnel number. The change of peak intensity against Fresnel number is slower with large aperture than that with small aperture. When Fresnel number is not small enough the influence of turbulence on intensity profiles is so small that can be neglected if structure constant is small.     

Investigation on diffraction characteristics of continuous terahertz beam limited by hard-edge apertures

Hard-edge apertures are common devices in optical systems. The light beam would be diffracted while transmitting through an aperture. The diffraction characteristics of terahertz (THz) beam passing through two hard-edge apertures have been simulated based on the Fresnel diffraction integral function, and an approximate parallel beam has been obtained. The effect on the diffraction spot has been compared and analyzed by changing the aperture diameter and distance between the two apertures and the diffraction plane. Then the experimental results were presented, which basically accorded with the numerical results. It can be inferred that the diameter of THz beam diminishes and the divergence angle can be neglected after the restriction of two apertures. The method is preferably available in some experiments which require small beam diameter and divergence angle.     

Propagation properties of Gaussian beams through the anamorphic fractional Fourier transform system with an eccentric circular aperture

As known, it is important for the propagation of Gaussian beams in optics. In this paper, based on the expanding a hard-edge circular aperture function as a finite sum of complex Gaussian functions and the scalar Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction formula, an approximation analytical solution for Gaussian beams propagating through the anamorphic fractional Fourier transform system with an eccentric circular aperture is performed. Then, the detailed numerical calculation for the two-dimensional Gaussian beams in the above-mentioned optical system is presented. The simulation also shows that different location and size of aperture result in the change of diffracted field, including location, intensity and width. All these characteristics help us understand Gaussian beams propagation better.     

Conjugate Image Plane Correlator with Holographic Disk Memory

A conjugate image plane correlator with holographic disk memory is proposed. Optical correlation between conjugate images reconstructed from a holographic disk and an input image on liquid-crystal television is executed with the rotation of the disk. Regardless of Fourier hologram recording with the pseudorandom diffuser, it is found possible to take out the diffuser from the original hologram recording scheme using an image reconstruction process and to get correlation signals between input and reconstructed conjugate images in the output plane of a two-lens imaging system. Generation of conjugate replicas with high contrast causes exact matching with an input image which results in high recognition performance for autocorrelation signals. The transfer function of an optical system can be controlled by adjustment of either hologram size or hologram area illuminated with a laser beam. Hence, the output intensity distribution can be adjusted by selecting a proper pupil function and the size of an output pupil defined by the input pupil size and the optical system magnification factor. The real-time character recognition by optical parallel high-speed processing for two dimensional images with position normalization is demonstrated.
