自旋-轨道相互作用下X型涡旋光束的传播特性

研究了 X型涡旋光束在左旋/右旋圆偏振状态下在紧聚焦系统中的传播特性,讨论了 自旋-轨道相互作用下焦平面光强的横向焦移和传播方向旋转现象的特点及其调控方法.研究发现:相位分布因子c是X型涡旋光束产生横向焦移和光强旋转的主要原因,而半孔径角α、偏振态和拓扑荷数对光强分布均有调控作用;由于自旋-轨道相互作用,入射光为左旋圆...     

Evolution of spin density vectors in a strongly focused composite field

The evolution of the spin density vectors(SDVs) is studied in a strongly focused composite field. It is found that the SDVs can be spiral along the propagation axis, and they are perpendicular to the ysdirection on the ysaxis. This behavior is governed by the Gouy phase difference between the field polarization components. The 60° rotation of the spatial distribution of the transverse SDVs is also generated, which is found to be controlled by the Gouy phase difference between the field orbital angular momentum modes. Additionally, the spin density singularities are observed in the evolution of the SDVs.
