Electromagnetic fields that remain totally polarized under propagation

It is remarked that, in general, a totally polarized field becomes partially polarized at the output of an optical system, even though the field propagates through non-polarizing devices. Two kinds of fields are shown in the present work, which maintain the totally-polarized character at the output of any (deterministic) non-polarizing first-order optical system. This property is satisfied by uniformly totally polarized beams and also by those fields whose electromagnetic degree of coherence [T. Setälä, J. Tervo, A.T. Friberg, Opt. Lett. 29 (2004) 328.] equals 1.

Third-order nonlinearity of Er3+-doped lead phosphate glass

In a laser coherent combination, the phase detection and control is the most critical. Using the beat frequency method, consistence of the phase in output beams can be ensured through real-time detection and correction for the phase change. Phase noises are controlled by a liquid crystal phase modulator. At the same time, the liquid crystal polarization controller is used to make the polarization state stable, which is good for the improvement of the combining efficiency. The wave length of the main oscillation laser is 532 nm. The output power of laser can be adjusted continuously from 0 to 6 W. The shifted frequency of the system is 40 MHz. The accuracy for phase control is superior to λ/70 RMS. In the process of closed-loop control, using the liquid crystal phase and polarization controller, a better signal phase correction of optical path has been achieved for the coherent combination of high power laser arrays.

作为量子信息领域分支的鬼成像,由于物体的像将出现在不包含物体的光路上的特点,使得这一领域的研究引人入胜。一度认为,只有基于纠缠态双光子的纠缠光源,才能实现鬼成像;但近年来的研究表明,经典热光场也能实现这一过程。从经典统计光学入手,建立了热光场的数值模型,模拟符合热光特性的光场变化、光场传播、以及物体透射函数对热光场的调制,进而从光强度起伏的关联函数中,分别重现振幅型物体和纯相位型物体的傅里叶变换图像;通过与真实实验结果的对比,表明基于统计光学原理的该数值模型所预测的实验结果,与真实的实验结果完全一致。     

Propagation of high-order Bessel–Gaussian beam through a misaligned first-order optical system

The generalized diffraction integralis used to derive a generalized formula for high-order Bessel–Gaussian beams (HBGBs) through a misaligned first-order ABCD optical system. It is found that, when a HBGB propagates through a misaligned optical system, the beam shape of the output beam is unchanged. However, the center of the output beam is deviated from the optical axis, forming a decentered HBGB. The position of the output beam may be controlled by adjusting the misaligned parameters. Based on the derived formula, the diffraction patterns of HBGBs propagating through a simple misaligned lens system have been calculated numerically. These results may be useful in the application of laser beams for trapping and manipulating a wide variety of particles.     

Structure of a nonparaxial gaussian beam near the focus: III. Stability,eigenmodes, and vortices

Exact analytical structurally stable solutions of the Maxwell equations for singular mode beams propagating in free space or a uniform isotropic medium are obtained. Approximate boundary conditions are chosen in the form of the requirement that in the paraxial approximation the fields of nonparaxial mode beams in the waist plane are transformed into the fields of eigenmodes and vortices of weakly guiding optical fibers with the axial symmetry of refractive index. It is shown that optical vortices, in spite of a rather complex structure of field distribution, do not experience substantial changes in the beam form and reproduce, in general features, the field of paraxial vortices. Linear perturbations of the characteristic parameters of mode beams do not change the structure of their electromagnetic field. Nonparaxial singular beams have one more important property, in addition to the fact that the structure of these beams in the paraxial approximation is similar to the structure of the fields of eigenmodes in a fiber. The propagation constants of eigenmodes of a fiber exactly coincide (in the first approximation of perturbation theory) with the projection of the wave vector of a mode beam on the optical axis (an analog of the propagation constant). The possibility of the paraxial transition for nonparaxial mode beams with arbitrary values of azimuthal and radial indices is shown. The properties of nonparaxial modes are illustrated by numerous examples. The solutions obtained and the results of their analysis can be used for exact matching optical fibers and laser beams in various applications.     

瑞利粒子在贝塞尔光束中的横向受力

 为寻找捕获瑞利粒子的最佳光场,利用电磁模型推导了贝塞尔光束捕获粒子的最小半径的表达式,并数值计算了瑞利粒子在贝塞尔光束和高斯光束中所受的横向力和势阱的深度。结果表明:当激光功率为4 W时,贝塞尔光束仅能在光轴处稳定地捕获瑞利粒子;当激光功率达到6 W时,贝塞尔光束能够在光轴和次极大位置捕获瑞利粒子。在相同的激光参数条件下,高斯光束无法克服布朗运动的影响稳定地捕获瑞利粒子,贝塞尔光束更有利于捕获瑞利粒子。     

Some effects of optical alignment errors in a differential laser Doppler velocimeter

A formulation has been developed to treat the effects of alignment errors of the optical system used in a differential laser Doppler velocimeter. It is then applied to analyse the properties of output beat signals obtained by the velocimeter. The effects of optical alignment errors on the spectral width and signal-to-noise ratio of the output beat signals and on the probing volume are investigated in some detail. The spectral width is not affected very much by the deviation of the angle between two beams incident on the probing volume, but depends mainly on the number of interference fringes produced in that volume. The signal-to-noise ratio is very sensitive to the displacement of two incident beams on the probing volume and is also affected by the intensity and beam width differences of these two beams. The probing volume is evaluated in the case of two incident beams having different beam widths.

Proposals for the generation of angular momentum from non-uniformly polarized beams

Several optical arrangements using non-uniformly polarized fields are proposed for generating beams with spin and/or orbital angular momentum. By choosing adequately the input beam polarization and the characteristics of the different proposed set-ups we can control the overall angular momentum of the output beam at will. The orbital angular momentum is analyzed with the beam moments theory and the spin term is evaluated using the averaged s₃ Stokes parameter.

Beam quality changes produced by quartic phase transmittances

The effects that quartic phase distortions generate in tridimensional beam quality parameters of laser fields are investigated. Two cases of special interest are considered: a rotationally symmetric spherically aberrated lens, and a pairof identical but orthogonal cylindrical spherically aberrated lenses in contact with one another. Analytical expressions for the quality parameters at the output plane of these quarticphase optical systems are derived. A number of conditions enabling determination in a definite way whether the quality improves or deteriorates are given for several significant kinds of fields. In particular, some general conclusions are found for perfect Gaussian beams that discriminate whether the two-lens system provides better output beam quality than the single-lens system.     

Influence of random deviation of domain length in quasi-phase-matched crystals on degenerate optical parametric amplification

During the fabrication of quasi-phase-matched (QPM) devices, errors of periodic structure are usually inevitable. The errors result in the deviation of the actual periodic domain length from the theoretical value. In this paper we numerically analyze the influence of the errors on the degenerate optical parametric amplifier consisting of QPM devices. It is shown that in this case the gains of signal photon number and normalized photon number variance are decreased with respect to those of an ideal QPM device. However, there are no extra noises to be introduced, the output signal-noise-ratio is equal to the input signal-noise-ratio if the small linear absorption in QPM devices is ignored. It has been also proved that the noise figure of the noiseless amplifier does not vary with the pump power and the propagation length of the signal light in the QPM crystal.     

Continuous-wave quantum nondemolition measurements with vacuum and nonclassical meter input

QND measurements of the amplitude quadrature of continuous-wave light are performed with a monolithic dual-port degenerate optical parametric amplifier (OPA). Operated with a vacuum meter input, both output beams are squeezed and 33% correlated, demonstrating individually squeezed twin beams. The sum of the signal and meter transfer coefficients is 1.05, demonstrating operation as a quantum optical tap. The device exhibits quantum state preparation ability for both signal and meter output, reaching the conditional variances of dB and dB, respectively. An improved quantum measurement is realized by injecting 3.4 dB amplitude-squeezed light into the meter input port of the OPA. This achieves increased correlation and squeezing of the output beams, and both improved operation as a quantum optical tap and as a quantum state preparator. The all-solid-state system was operated for up to 5 hours with high stability. Received: 25 July 1996
