Propagation of four-petal Gaussian beams in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media

The propagation of four-petal Gaussian beams in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media has been studied. The analytical solution and the analytical second-order moment beam width are obtained. For the off-waist incident and the waist incident cases, the intensity pattern evolves periodically during propagation in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media. Under the off-waist incident condition, the second-order moment beam width varies periodically during propagation, whatever the input power is. But under the waist incident condition, there exists a critical power. When the input power equals the critical power, the second-order moment beam width remains invariant, otherwise the second-order moment beam width varies periodically. Numerical simulations based on the nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation are carried out for comparison with the theoretical predictions. The results show that the numerical simulations are in good agreement with the analytical results in the case of strong nonlocality.     

Propagation of self-trapped circular beams in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media

A very general family of self-trapped circular beams (CiBs) in circular cylindrical coordinates is presented in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media. The complex amplitude of the CiBs is depicted by the product of the Whittaker functions and the Gaussian function, and is characterized by two parameters. Special cases of the CiBs and the even and odd mode CiBs are the standard, elegant, and generalized Laguerre-Gaussian beams and the even and odd mode standard, elegant, and generalized Laguerre-Gaussian beams.     

Propagation of Airy Gaussian vortex beams in uniaxial crystals

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.     

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.     

Collapse arrest in a two-dimensional Airy Gaussian beam and Airy Gaussian vortex beam in nonlocal nonlinear media

Propagation dynamics of a two-dimensional Airy Gaussian beam and Airy Gaussian vortex beam are investigated numerically in local and nonlocal nonlinear media. The self-healing and collapse of the beam crucially depend on the distribution factor b and the topological charge m. With the aid of nonlocality, a stable Airy Gaussian beam and an Airy Gaussian vortex beam with larger amplitude can be obtained, which always collapse in local nonlinear media. When the distribution factor b is large enough, the Airy Gaussian vortex beam will transfer into quasi-vortex solitons in nonlocal nonlinear media.     

Propagation dynamics of finite-energy Airy beams in nonlocal nonlinear media

We investigate periodic inversion and phase transition of normal and displaced finite-energy Airy beams propagating in nonlocal nonlinear media with the split-step Fourier method. Numerical simulation results show that parameters such as the degree of nonlocality and amplitude have profound effects on the intensity distribution of the period of an Airy beam. Nonlocal nonlinear media will reduce into a harmonic potential if the nonlocality is strong enough, which results in the beam fluctuating in an approximately cosine mode. The beam profile changes from an Airy profile to a Gaussian one at a critical point, and during propagation the process repeats to form an unusual oscillation. We also briefly discus the two-dimensional case, being equivalent to a product of two one-dimensional cases.     

强非局域正交偏振双厄米高斯光束的传输特性

依据非局域非线性介质中双光束传输时遵循的非局域非线性薛定谔耦合方程,在强非局域情形下,通过把响应函数作泰勒展开近似取到二阶,运用变分法求出了正交偏振、中心重合的双厄米高斯光束在强非局域介质中传输时各参量演化规律和一个临界功率,并运用分步傅里叶算法数值模拟出了束宽和相位的演化规律。当两光束以临界功率入射时,得到了正交偏振、中心重合的双厄米高斯空间光孤子及其大相移演化规律。当两光束以总临界功率入射,但两束光的入射功率不等时,光束可以形成呼吸子,但随着阶数的增加呼吸子将越来越不稳定。对于各阶呼吸子,功率大的束宽都作周期性压缩振荡变化,功率小的束宽都作周期性展宽振荡变化,且两呼吸子中功率大的相移随传输距离增加更快。在厄米高斯光束阶数小于5时,变分解得到的结果与数值解吻合较好。

Propagation of rotating parabolic cylindrical beams in nonlocal nonlinear medium

I introduce a class of rotating parabolic cylindrical beams in nonlocal nonlinear media. The rotating speed keeps fixed in the case of strong nonlocality and increases with the nonlocality being weak. For the strong nonlocal case, the analytical solutions of the modified Snyder Mitchell model agree well with the numerical simulations of the nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation. By simulating the propagation of the rotating parabolic cylindrical beams in liquid crystal and nonlinear thermal media numerically, I demonstrate that there exists the rotating parabolic cylindrical cosine Gaussian quasi-soliton state.

Propagation properties of chirped Airy vortex beams with x-polarization through uniaxial crystals

The propagation dynamics of a chirped Airy vortex(CAiV) beam with x-polarization in uniaxial crystals orthogonal to the optical axis is studied analytically and numerically. The effect of the ratio of extraordinary and ordinary refractive indices, the chirp parameter, as well as the propagation distance is analyzed, which shows that the focused position of the CAi V beams can be controlled through changing the ratio of the extraordinary and ordinary refractive indices. In addition,with the propagation distance increasing, the asymmetry of the intensity and the angular momentum of the CAi V beam during propagation becomes much more visible. The variation of the chirp parameters can change the attenuation velocity of the vortex as well.     

Propagation dynamics of deformed 2D vortex Airy beams

We numerically and experimentally investigate the propagation of deformed 2D vortex Airy beams. Our results show that, for different topological charges, two parabolic trajectories that can be controlled by changing the initial wing angle always dominate the beam propagations. In this case, the main lobes take different propagation distances to restore to the peak intensity. The profiles tend to evolve into 1D or 2D Airy-like patterns to various degrees in the same propagation distance. Furthermore, the whole profiles yield a small change in their acceleration direction, depending on the topological charge and the initial wing angle.

Propagation properties of the chirped Airy vortex beams through left-handed and right-handed material slabs

We present an investigation on the propagation properties of the chirped Airy vortex(CAi V) beams through slabs of left-handed materials(LHMs) and right-handed materials(RHMs). We discuss the influence of chirped parameter C on the propagation of the CAi V beams through LHM and RHM slabs. Our simulation results show that a maximum accelerated velocity appears during the propagation process. The intensity concentration of the CAi V beams increases with the absolute value of the chirped parameter. The peak intensity of the CAi V beams changes abruptly, and the chirped parameter plays an active role on the difference of the maximum and the minimum. In the energy flow, we find that the effects of the chirped parameter on the strength of the vortex are different at different propagation distances.
