Complex geometrical optics of Kerr type nonlinear media

The paper generalizes paraxial complex geometrical optics (PCGO) for Gaussian beam (GB) propagation in nonlinear media of Kerr type. Ordinary differential equations for the beam amplitude and for complex curvature of the wave front are derived, which describe the evolution of axially symmetric GB in a Kerr type nonlinear medium. It is shown that PCGO readily provides the solutions of NLS equation obtained earlier from diffraction theory on the basis of the aberration-free approach. Besides reproducing classical results of self-focusing PCGO readily describes an influence of the initial curvature of the wave front on the beam evolution in a medium of Kerr type including a nonlinear graded-index fiber. The range of applicability of the PCGO theory is discussed as well which is helpful for avoiding nonphysical solutions.

Numerical implementation of complex geometrical optics

We propose a numerical scheme for calculation of the wave field, based on the geometrical-optics method generalized for complex values. The main advantage of the complex-value method is a possibility to take into account diffraction effects using only the ordinary differential equations of the geometrical optics. This allows one to significantly reduce the amount of computations and, hence, computation time. The efficiency of this algorithm is illustrated by two numerical examples that allow comparison with the known analytical solutions: the plane-wave field behind the caustic in the linearly inhomogeneous layer and the field of a Gaussian beam in a homogeneous medium.

Propagation of a hollow Gaussian beam through a paraxial misaligned optical system

Based on the generalized diffraction integral formula for treating the propagation of a laser beam through a paraxial misaligned optical system in the cylindrical coordinate system, we obtain an analytical formula for a hollow Gaussian beam passing through a paraxial misaligned optical system. Furthermore, we also obtain the approximate analytical formula for a hollow Gaussian beam passing through a paraxial circularly apertured misaligned optical system by expanding the hard aperture function into a finite sum of complex Gaussian functions. As a numerical example, the propagation properties a hollow Gaussian beam through a misaligned thin lens are studied numerically.

在傍轴近似下,推导出了左手材料平板聚焦系统的传输矩阵,并利用ABCD定律得到了高斯光束在左手材料中和经过平板透镜聚焦后的传输公式。高斯光束在左手材料内部和像空间的传输公式的研究表明:像高斯光束和物高斯光束束腰大小一致,即左手材料平板透镜实际上对高斯光束没有聚焦作用。研究同时表明左手材料平板对高斯光束的聚焦与几何光学成像规律完全一致,而不存在一般透镜聚焦时的焦移效应。     

Kerr非线性介质中聚焦像散高斯光束的传输特性

当高功率激光通过Kerr非线性介质传输时,Kerr效应会严重影响激光的传输特性.实际应用中常遇到像散光束.迄今为止,像散光束传输特性的研究大都局限于在线性介质中的传输,而在非线性介质中传输的研究较少,且还未涉及像散激光束通过含光学系统的Kerr非线性介质传输变换的研究.本文主要研究Kerr效应对聚焦光束像散特性和焦移特性的影响,以及聚焦像散高斯光束的自聚焦焦距和光束焦点调控.在光束扩展情况下,推导出了聚焦像散高斯光束在Kerr非线性介质中传输的束宽、束腰位置和焦移的解析公式,研究表明:在自聚焦介质中,随着自聚焦作用增强(如光束功率增强),光束像散越强,但焦移越小;在自散焦介质中,随着自散焦作用增强(如光束功率增强),光束像散越弱,但焦移越大.另一方面,在光束自聚焦情况下,推导出了自聚焦焦距的解析公式,研究表明利用光束像散可以调控光束焦点个数.

Propagation properties of Airy–Gaussian beams

The propagation of the Airy–Gaussian beams is studied in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media analytically and numerically. The linear momentum of the analytical Airy–Gaussian beam solution of the Snyder–Mitchell model is not conservational, which is the reason that results in the disagreement between the analytical Airy–Gaussian beam solution and the numerical simulations of the nonlocal nonlinear Schr?dinger equation in the case of strong nonlocality. The quasi-Airy–Gaussian soliton in the Gaussian-shaped response material can be obtained when the parameter χ ₀ is large enough, and the patterns of Airy–Gaussian beams are variable periodically in liquid crystal material during propagation.

Based on the fact that a hard aperture function can be expanded into a finite sum of complex Gaussian functions, the approximate analytical expression for the output field distribution of a rectangular flattened Gaussian beam passing through a circular apertured and misaligned paraxial ABCD system is derived. The result brings more convenient for studying its propagation than the usual way by using diffraction integral directly. Some numerical simulations are also given for illustrating the propagation properties of a rectangular flattened Gaussian beam through a circular apertured and misaligned optical system.
