Self-accelerating and self-breathing Bessel-like beams along arbitrary trajectories

We theoretically and experimentally study self-accelerating and self-breathing Bessel-like beams that fol- low arbitrary trajectories, including hyperbolic, hyperbolic secant, and three-dimensional （3D） spiraling trajectories. The beams have an overall Bessel-like profile in transverse dimensions; however, the intensity of their central main lobe breathes while traveling along a curved trajectory. Such beams can be readily generated experimentally through appropriate phase modulation of the optical wavefront. The beams con- tribute to the design of new families of self-accelerating beams.     

自加速类贝塞尔-厄米-高斯光束的理论和实验研究

空间相位调制一直是设计新型自加速光束的重要方法.参照类贝塞尔光束产生的思路,从理论上提出了一种新型的自加速无衍射类贝塞尔-厄米-高斯光束,并从数值模拟和实验两个方面研究此光束沿不同轨道的演化.理论上通过对厄米-高斯光束进行相位调制,产生了不同模式的自加速类贝塞尔-厄米-高斯光束.采用分步傅里叶算法模拟了(0,1),(1,0),(1,1)和(1,2)阶类贝塞尔-厄米-高斯光束沿预设轨道的传输过程.采用计算全息和空间光调制技术在实验中观察了类贝塞尔-厄米-高斯光束沿预设轨道的传输,例如抛物、双曲、双曲正割和三维轨道.实验观察与理论结果符合得很好.实验验证了不同阶类贝塞尔-厄米-高斯光束的奇特光斑结构,验证了光束的非衍射特性及传输轨道的可控性,且理论模拟验证了光束的自修复特性.作为此前研究的类贝塞尔光束的一般形式,本文所得到的光束可用于构造出更加新型实用的光束.
