从部分相干光的传输理论出发,研究了被光阑衍射扭曲高斯-谢尔模型光束远场的光谱变化规律。结果表明,扭曲高斯-谢尔模型光束在远场也会出现光谱移动和光谱开关效应。与衍射高斯-谢尔模型光束情况相比,光谱移动和光谱开关效应不仅与光束空间相关性、截断参量和源光谱谱宽有关,光束的扭曲因子也会对衍射扭曲高斯-谢尔模型光束远场的光谱移动和光谱开关效应产生影响。通过数值计算结果详细讨论了光束扭曲因子影响衍射扭曲高斯-谢尔模型远场光谱的规律。     

TAGSM光束在大气湍流中传输

基于广义惠更斯－菲涅耳原理,利用部分相干光复曲率张量研究了有扭曲的各向异性高斯－谢尔模型光束在湍流大气中的传输规律.根据有扭曲的各向导性高斯-谢尔模型光束在大气湍流中传播距离z处的部分相干复曲率张量给出了光束参量的表达式和详细的数值计算结果.结果表明：大气湍流减缓了光束扭曲参量随传播距离的衰减趋势,增大了主方向上的波前曲率的峰值,而且大气湍流退化了光束的相干性,使得光束扩展严重;光源扭曲参量大小和相干性也都会影响TAGSM光束在大气湍流中传输时各个光束参量的变化规律.     

洛伦兹光束的传输特性研究

运用光束传输的二阶矩理论,对洛伦兹光束的传输特性进行了研究,给出了束腰、横向发散角和光束传输因子的表达式.横向束腰仅取决于对应方向上的光束参数;而横向发散角和光束传输因子却取决于两横向上的光束参数.给出了光束传输因子随两横向光束参数的变化关系曲线.结果表明,两横向上的光束传输因子随两光束参数的变化规律是不相同的,而整体的光束传输因子随两光束参数的变化是前两者的综合体现;但在傍轴情形下,光束传输因子趋向于常数141,因此,对于相同束腰,其傍轴条件下的发散性为对应高斯光束的141倍.所以,洛伦兹光束适合用于描述某些发散程度较大的激光光源. 关键词： 洛伦兹光束 光束传输 二阶矩

部分相干环状偏心光束通过海洋湍流的传输特性

推导出了部分相干环状偏心光束在海洋湍流中传输的平均光强和光束质心位置的解析表达式, 并给出了最大光强位置满足的传输方程. 研究发现: 经足够长距离传输后, 在自由空间中最大光强位置比光束质心更靠近传输z轴, 并且其位置随着光束相干参数的增大而靠近传输z 轴, 随着光束偏心参数和遮拦比的增大而远离传输z轴. 但是, 在海洋湍流中最大光强位置趋于质心位置, 并且海洋湍流的增强会加速最大光强位置趋于质心位置的进程. 在海洋湍流中光束的相干性对光束传输特性的影响明显减小. 另一方面, 光束质心位置与光束的相干性、光束传输距离以及海洋湍流均无关系, 并且光束质心位置随着光束偏心参数和遮拦比的增大而远离传输z 轴. 所得结果对工作于水下湍流环境中的部分相干环状偏心光束的应用具有重要意义.     

超高斯涡旋光束在空间中的传输特性

研究了超高斯涡旋光束光强最大值、光斑半径以及环围能量半径等参数随传输距离和拓扑荷数的变化规律,并与高斯涡旋光束做了比较,结果表明:超高斯涡旋光束的光斑半径和环围能量半径随拓扑荷数及传输距离呈近似线性关系;对同一拓扑荷数和传输距离,高斯涡旋光束的能量较超高斯涡旋光束要发散;当拓扑荷数较大时,超高斯涡旋光束的光斑半径比高斯涡旋光束更大。针对光束质量研究了广义光束质量因子随传输距离和拓扑荷数的变化,结果表明传输距离足够远时,拓扑荷数较小的超高斯涡旋光束具有更好的光束质量。

Application of the Wigner distribution function to studying spectral changes of twisted anisotropic Gaussian Schell-Model beams

By using the Wigner distribution function (WDF), a general closed-form expression for the spectrum of twisted anisotropic Gaussian Schell-model (AGSM) beams in passage through a first-order ABCD system is derived. The spectral changes of twisted AGSM beams propagating in free space and through a thin lens, and the spectral changes of conversional Gaussian-Schell model (GSM) beams are treated as special cases of our general expression. Our theoretical and numerical results show that the WDF provides a powerful and simple tool in analyzing propagation properties of general AGSM beams. Specifically, the spectral behavior of twisted AGSM beams and conventional GSM beams can be treated in a unified and analytical way.     

Propagation of partially coherent twisted anisotropic Gaussian Schell-model beams through an apertured astigmatic optical system

By expanding the hard-aperture function into a finite sum of complex Gaussian functions, we derived an approximate analytical formula for a partially coherent twisted anisotropic Gaussian Schell-model (AGSM) beam propagating through an apertured paraxial general astigmatic (GA) optical system by use of a tensor method. The results obtained by using the approximate analytical formula are in good agreement with those obtained by using the numerical integral calculation. Our formulas avoid time-consuming numerical integration and provide a convenient and effective way for studying the propagation and transformation of a partially coherent twisted AGSM beam through an apertured paraxial GA optical system.     

Automatic Fourier transform and self-Fourier beams due to parabolic potential

We investigate the propagation of light beams including Hermite–Gauss, Bessel–Gauss and finite energy Airy beams in a linear medium with parabolic potential. Expectedly, the beams undergo oscillation during propagation, but quite unexpectedly they also perform automatic Fourier transform, that is, periodic change from the beam to its Fourier transform and back. In addition to oscillation, the finite-energy Airy beams exhibit periodic inversion during propagation. The oscillating period of parity-asymmetric beams is twice that of the parity-symmetric beams. Based on the propagation in parabolic potential, we introduce a class of optically-interesting beams that are self-Fourier beams—that is, the beams whose Fourier transforms are the beams themselves.     

Nonparaxial Lorentz and Lorentz-Gauss beams

The Lorentz and Lorentz-Gauss beams are extended to the nonparaxial regime. Analytical propagation expressions of nonparaxial Lorentz and Lorentz-Gauss beams in free space are derived, and the propagation of paraxial Lorentz and Lorentz-Gauss beams is treated as a special case of our general results. The propagation properties of Lorentz and Lorentz-Gauss beams are illustrated and compared with numerical examples.     

Phase-flipped Hermite-Gaussian beams and their propagation beyond the paraxial approximation

An extension of phase-flipped Gaussian (PFG) beams to the multi-mode nonparaxial case is made. The recurrence propagation expressions for phase-flipped Hermite-Gaussian (PFHG) beams beyond the paraxial approximation are derived and used to study nonparaxial propagation properties of PFHG beams in free space and through a knife edge and an aperture, and to compare nonparaxial results with paraxial ones. The propagation of paraxial PFHG beams and PFG beams and nonparaxial PFG beams is treated as special cases of nonparaxial PFHG beams. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results.     

强非局域介质中1+1维高斯型损耗空间双孤子的相互作用

研究了1+1维高斯型双光束在含小损耗的强非局域非线性介质中的传输特性。通过对该介质中光束传输遵循的非局域非线性薛定谔方程进行近似简化,得到了含小损耗强非局域非线性介质中1+1维高斯型双光束传输模型。在此基础上运用解析的方法研究了双光束传输的演化规律,得到了准双孤子解。经过进一步分析发现,在传输过程中两光束中心的轨迹为艾里函数;两光束会准周期性地碰撞、分离;随着传输距离的增大,两光束中心之间的最大距离会越来越大。另一方面,当损耗逐渐增大时,两光束的碰撞空间周期将变短,同时两光束中心之间的最大距离也越来越大。     

Paraxial propagation of cosh-Airy vortex beams in chiral medium

Propagation dynamics of the cosh-Airy vortex(CAiV) beams in a chiral medium is investigated analytically with Huygens–Fresnel diffraction integral formula. The results show that the CAiV beams are split into the left circularly polarized vortex(LCPV) beams and the right circularly polarized vortex(RCPV) beams with different propagation trajectories in the chiral medium. We mainly investigate the effect of the cosh parameter on the propagation process of the CAiV beams.The propagation characteristics, including intensity distribution, propagation trajectory, peak intensity, main lobe's intensity, Poynting vector, and angular momentum are discussed in detail. We find that the cosh parameter affects the intensity distribution of the CAiV beams but not its propagation trajectory. As the cosh parameter increases, the distribution areas of the LCPV and RCPV beams become wider, and the side lobe's intensity and peak intensity become larger. Besides, the main lobe's intensity of the LCPV and RCPV beams increase with the increase of the cosh parameter at a farther propagation distance, which is confirmed by the variation trend of the Poynting vector. It is significant that we can vary the cosh parameter to control the intensity distribution, main lobe's intensity, and peak intensity of the CAiV beams without changing the propagation trajectory. Our results may provide some support for applications of the CAiV beams in optical micromanipulation.     

非傍轴矢量异常空心光束的传输特性

 将Cai提出的异常空心光束的理论模型推广到非傍轴范畴,推导出非傍轴矢量异常空心光束传输的解析表达式,用以研究它在自由空间中的传输特性。研究表明,异常空心光束在传输过程中光束形状会发生变化。与高斯光束不同,非傍轴异常空心光束傍轴近似成立条件依赖于传输距离,这与异常空心光束光强分布随传输距离的变化有关。非傍轴异常空心光束远场的光束质量可用桶中功率来描述,桶中功率随f参数(波长与束腰宽度的比值)的增大而减小。     

Hollow Gaussian beams in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media

The propagation of hollow Gaussian beams in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media is studied in detail.Two analytical expressions are derived.For hollow Gaussian beams,the intensity distribution always evolves periodically.However the second-order moment beam width can keep invariant during propagation if the input power is equal to the critical power.The interaction of two hollow Gaussian beams and the vortical hollow Gaussian beams are also discussed.The vortical hollow Gaussian beams with an appropriate topological charge can keep their shapes invariant during propagation.

The propagation dynamics of the Airy Gaussian vortex beams in uniaxial crystals orthogonal to the optical axis has been investigated analytically and numerically. The propagation expression of the beams has been obtained. The propagation features of the Airy Gaussian vortex beams are shown with changes of the distribution factor and the ratio of the extraordinary refractive index to the ordinary refractive index. The correlations between the ratio and the maximum intensity value during the propagation, and its appearing distance have been investigated.
