依据非局域非线性介质中双光束传输时遵循的非局域非线性薛定谔耦合方程,在强非局域情形下,通过把响应函数作泰勒展开近似取到二阶,运用变分法求出了正交偏振、中心重合的双厄米高斯光束在强非局域介质中传输时各参量演化规律和一个临界功率,并运用分步傅里叶算法数值模拟出了束宽和相位的演化规律。当两光束以临界功率入射时,得到了正交偏振、中心重合的双厄米高斯空间光孤子及其大相移演化规律。当两光束以总临界功率入射,但两束光的入射功率不等时,光束可以形成呼吸子,但随着阶数的增加呼吸子将越来越不稳定。对于各阶呼吸子,功率大的束宽都作周期性压缩振荡变化,功率小的束宽都作周期性展宽振荡变化,且两呼吸子中功率大的相移随传输距离增加更快。在厄米高斯光束阶数小于5时,变分解得到的结果与数值解吻合较好。     

Ince-Gaussian beams

We demonstrate the existence of the Ince-Gaussian beams that constitute the third complete family of exact and orthogonal solutions of the paraxial wave equation. Their transverse structure is described by the Ince polynomials and has an inherent elliptical symmetry. Ince-Gaussian beams constitute the exact and continuous transition modes between Laguerre and Hermite-Gaussian beams. The propagating characteristics are discussed as well.     

Elegant Ince-Gaussian beams

The existence of elegant Ince-Gaussian beams that constitute a third complete family of exact and biorthogonal elegant solutions of the paraxial wave equation is demonstrated. Their transverse structure is described by Ince polynomials with a complex argument. Elegant Ince-Gaussian beams constitute exact and continuous transition modes between elegant Laguerre-Gaussian and elegant Hermite-Gaussian beams. The expansion formulas among the three elegant families are derived.     

The effects of induced heat loads on the propagation of Ince-Gaussian beams

Thermal effects are very much influential in high power beam generators. Their impacts on special types of beams such as Helmholtz-Gauss beams have attracted special attentions. This work reports thermal effects on the generation and propagation of Ince-Gaussian beams. The results show considerable beam spot size variations for near fields under various induced heat loads. As Ince-Gaussian beams are directly related to cavity symmetry breaking, the results can greatly help system designers for circumventing these types of symmetry breaks usually encountered in high power lasers.     

Propagation of Ince-Gaussian beams in uniaxial crystals orthogonal to the optical axis

An analytical propagation expression of an Ince-Gaussian beam in uniaxial crystals orthogonal to the optical axis is derived. The uniaxial crystal considered here has the property of the extraordinary refractive index being larger than the ordinary refractive index. The Ince-Gaussian beam in the transversal direction along the optical axis spreads more rapidly than that in the other transversal direction. With increasing the ratio of the extraordinary refractive index to the ordinary refractive index, the spreading of the Ince-Gaussian beam in the transversal direction along the optical axis increases and the spreading of the Ince-Gaussian beam in the other transversal direction decreases. The effective beam size in the transversal direction along the optical axis is always larger than that in the other transversal direction. When the even and odd modes of Ince-Gaussian beams exist simultaneously, the effective beam size in the direction along the optical axis of the odd Ince-Gaussian beam is smaller than that of the even Ince-Gaussian beam in the corresponding direction, and the effective beam size in the transversal direction orthogonal to the optical axis of the odd Ince-Gaussian beam is larger than that of the even Ince-Gaussian beam in the corresponding direction.     

Propagation properties of radial partially coherent flat-topped array beams in a turbulent atmosphere

With the help of the tensor method, the analytical expression for the cross-spectral density of the radial partially coherent flat-topped array (RPCFTA) beams propagating in a turbulent atmosphere is derived, where the correlated superposition and uncorrelated superposition are considered. The average intensity, the spatial coherence properties and power in bucket (PIB) of these kinds of beams are investigated in detail. It is shown by numerical results and analysis that the average intensity and the spatial coherence of the correlated or uncorrelated RPCFTA beams will change on propagation and this change is dependent upon the correlation of the source's beamlets and atmospheric turbulence. In addition, the comparisons of the average intensity and the spatial coherence between the correlated and the uncorrelated RPCFTA beams propagating both in turbulent atmosphere and in free space are also given, and some interesting results are obtained. The laser power of focus ability of the single PCFT beam is worse than that of the correlated RPCFTA beam and but better than that of the uncorrelated RPCFTA beam when propagation distance in turbulent atmosphere is far-field plane.

湍流大气中斜程传输部分相干光的光束扩展

运用维格纳分布函数与广义惠更斯菲涅耳原理,推导出部分相干光束在任意折射率起伏功率谱模型的大气湍流中斜程传输时,其束宽传输的一般解析表达式。在此基础上,以部分相干平顶(PCFT)光束为例,给出了PCFT光束在大气湍流中斜程传输的束宽扩展解析表达式。在合肥地区大气折射率结构常数高度分布模式下开展了数值计算和分析,并与水平传输时的结果进行了比较。研究结果表明,光束在斜程传输时的束宽不仅与光束阶数、空间相干度、束腰半径、湍流的强弱和传输距离有关,还与天顶角密切相关。光束的阶数越高,空间相干性越差,天顶角越小,则其束宽扩展受湍流的影响就越小。当天顶角小于60°时,大气湍流对斜程传输光束束宽的影响明显小于水平传输的情况。     

An exact solution to paraxial propagation of laser beams in longitudinal inhomogeneous plasmas

An exact, general solution for laser beams propagating in longitudinally inhomogeneous plasmas is obtained in the form of the diffraction integral. The Gaussian beam and the Hermite-Gaussian beam are taken for example. In the case of an increasing plasma density along the propagation distance, natural diffraction of the Gaussian beam is retarded. This retardance has a less effect on the central part of the Hermite-Gaussian beam while a considerable rise of the power in bucket （PIB） occurs in the surrounding part of the beam.
