任意线偏振高斯光束的非傍轴传输

运用非傍轴光束传输的矢量矩理论，对任意线偏振高斯光束的非傍轴传输进行了系统的研究，给出了定量计算偏振对束腰、横向远场发散角和光束传输因子贡献的解析通式. 并对高度非傍轴和傍轴两种极端情形，简化了相应的计算式. 在高斯光源线度趋向于零的极限情形下，两个横向的最大发散角均为90°，与偏振态无关. 在高度非傍轴情形下，可以通过所给出的解析通式设计高斯光源的半宽度与激射光波长之比值以及线偏振态来达到所期望的光束传输特性. 对于傍轴情形，不同偏振对束腰和横向远场发散角稍有影响，但这种影响一般可以忽略不计；而光束传输因子却始终保持不变，与偏振态无关. 若介于这两种极端情形之间，则可以根据高斯光源的半宽度之值和所期望的计算精度，确定解析式中级数的项数进而确定任意线偏振高斯光束的非傍轴传输特性. 关键词： 高斯光束 非傍轴传输 偏振 二阶矩

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

截断非傍轴标量高斯光束的传输特性

基于精确光强定义下非傍轴标量光束的二阶矩理论,计算了不同束腰及光阑孔径条件下截断非傍轴标量高斯光束的束腰半径、远场发散角以及质量因子等光束传输特性,并将截断非傍轴标量高斯光束与自由高斯光束和平面波圆孔衍射光束进行了比较.数值计算表明截断参量的不同对截断高斯光束的传输特性影响很大.当R2ω0时,截断高斯光束与高斯光束在自由空间传输特性趋于一致,因此在精确光强定义下,对于非傍轴标量光束来说,当光阑孔径大于2倍束腰时,可以不考虑光阑对高斯光束的衍射作用.当R0.3ω0时,截断高斯光束传输特性趋于平面波通过圆孔的衍射曲线.因此,在这种情况下,可以将高斯光束作为平面波处理.只有当光阑孔径介于0.3倍束腰和2倍束腰之间时,需要同时考虑光阑孔径和高斯束腰对衍射的影响.

Propagation characteristics of TM Gaussian beam

The propagation characteristics of TM polarized Gaussian beam, which is the rigorous solution of an eigenfunction problem for a confocal resonator, have been investigated using the nonparaxial vectorial moment theory of light beam propagation. The analytical expressions of the beam propagation factors are given by means of Fourier transform. Both the transversal second-order moment beam widths follow a simple hyperbolic variational law. For nonparaxial case, however, beam has different propagating features in the two transversal directions. As to paraxial case, its propagation approximately reduces to that of scalar Gaussian beam TEM₀₀ mode.     

Propagation of a twisted anisotropic Gaussian Schell-model beam beyond the paraxial approximation

With the help of a tensor method, an analytical nonparaxial propagation formula for a twisted anisotropic Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beam in free space is derived based on the generalized Raleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction integral. The far-field nonparaxial propagation expression for a twisted anisotropic GSM beam is also derived. The paraxial approximation is dealt with as a special case of our general result. Our numerical results show that the nonparaxial propagation properties of a twisted anisotropic GSM beam are closely related to the initial beam parameters (i.e., twist factor, transverse spot width matrix, coherence width matrix and wavelength) and the propagation distance. Our formulae provide a convenient and powerful way for studying the paraxial and nonparaxial propagation of an isotropic or anisotropic GSM beam with or without twist phase in free space.     

Nonparaxial propagation of a vectorial apertured off-axis Lorentz beam

Based on the vectorial Rayleigh--Sommerfeld integral formula and the complex Gaussian expansion of the hard-edge aperture function, an analytical propagation expression for a nonparaxial vectorial off-axis Lorentz beam passing through a rectangular aperture is derived. The unapertured case, the far field expression and the scalar paraxial result are also presented as special cases of the general formulae, respectively. Some numerical examples are also given to show the propagation characteristics of a nonparaxial vectorial off-axis Lorentz beam through a rectangular aperture. It is indicated that the f parameter, the off-axis displacement and the truncation parameter all play an important role in determining nonparaxial propagation behaviour.     

Polarization properties of nonparaxial partially polarized Gaussian Schell-model beams

The polarization properties of nonparaxial partially polarized Gaussian Schell-model (PGSM) beams are studied. Based on the beam coherence-polarization matrix, the propagation formula of the degree of polarization for the nonparaxial PGSM beams is derived. The paraxial approximation is dealt with as special cases of our general results. Some conditions that limit the choice of the parameters are established. The sufficiency condition of polarization invariance in propagation for the nonparaxial PGSM beams is derived. By using the derived formulae, the propagation properties of the degree of polarization for the nonparaxial PGSM beam in free space are illustrated and analyzed with numerical examples. Some detailed comparisons of the obtained results with the paraxial results are made.     

Nonparaxial propagation of phase-flipped Gaussian beams

This paper derives the closed-form expressions for nonparaxial phase flipped Gaussian （PFG） beams propagating in free space, through a knife edge and an aperture, which enable us to study nonparaxial propagation properties of PFG beams and to compare nonparaxial results with paraxial ones. It is found that the f parameter, offsetting distance of the knife edge and truncation parameter affect the nonparaxial beam propagation properties. Only under certain conditions the paraxial approximation is applicable. The results are illustrated by 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.
