Effect of aberrations on off-axis gaussian beams

The effect of aberrations of an optical system on gaussian beams is analyzed. If an incident position of the beams of the optical system does not coincide with the center of its pupil, the beams suffer from aberrations differently in accordance with the various incident positions. The Strehl definition of the beams is studied as a function of the incident position of the beams and the kind of abberations present in the optical system.     

Volkov Solution for Two Laser Beams and ITER

We find the solutions of the Dirac equation for two plane waves (laser beams) and we determine the modified Compton formula for the scattering of two photons on an electron. The practical meaning of the two laser beams is, that two laser beams impinging on a target which is constituted from material in the form a foam, can replace 100–200 laser beams impinging on a normal target and it means that the nuclear fusion with two laser beams is realistic in combination with the thermonuclear reactor such as ITER.     

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.

高效产生任意矢量光场的一种方法

提出一种高效产生任意矢量光场的方法.利用两个光束偏移器分别对两个正交线偏振分量进行分束与合束,将传统激光模式转化为任意矢量光场.所产生矢量光场的偏振态和相位分布通过相位型空间光调制器(SLM)加载相应的相位实时调控.由于光路系统中不涉及任何衍射光学元件和振幅分光元件,光场转换效率高,仅取决于SLM的反射率,并且光路系统结构紧凑、稳定,同轴性易于调节.实验结果显示,采用反射率为79%的相位型SLM产生矢量光场的转换效率可达到58%.

Stokes beams formed by superposition of a completely unpolarized and a completely polarized Gaussian Schell-model beam

Analytic expressions and computed examples are given to elucidate the coherence and polarization properties of Stokes beams, i.e. beams formed by superposition of a completely unpolarized and a completely polarized electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model beam. We found that superposition of such two beams cannot form a Stokes beam with a constant state of polarization on propagation. An additional constraint on the source plane parameters of the two Gaussian Schell-model beams is proposed. The resultant Stokes beam with a constant state of polarization on propagation is found to be a Gaussian Schell-model beam with the same variances as the two constituent Gaussian Schell-model beams. However, the modulus of the Gaussian intensity distributions across the source planes of these beams may be different.     

Propagation-invariant hollow beams with hexagonal symmetry

Based on the interference of six symmetric beams, we introduce a new way to produce propagation-invariant hollow beams with hexagonal symmetry. The hollow beams have a dark center and hexagonal shape. They can be optical vortices, radially or azimuthally polarized beams. The results of simulation demonstrate the feasibility of this method.

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.     

Spreading of partially coherent polychromatic Hermite-Gaussian beams propagating through non-Kolmogorov turbulence

The spreading of partially coherent polychromatic Hermite-Gaussian (PCPHG) beams propagating through non-Kolmogorov turbulence is studied, where the effect of non-Kolmogorov turbulence and beam bandwidth on the beam width spreading and angular spread is stressed. It is shown that the variation of the relative beam width of PCPHG beams with the generalized exponent parameter of non-Kolmogorov turbulence is non-monotonic. The larger bandwidth of PCPHG beams is, the smaller the relative beam width and the smaller the relative angular spread. Therefore, PCPHG beams with larger bandwidth are less affected by non-Kolmogorov turbulence than those with smaller bandwidth. PCPHG beams are less sensitive to the effect of non-Kolmogorov turbulence than fully coherent polychromatic Hermite-Gaussian (FCPHG) beams and polychromatic Gaussian Schell-model (PGSM) beams. The results are illustrated by numerical examples and interpreted.

Propagation of high-power partially coherent fibre laser beams in a real environment

The propagation performance of high-power partially coherent fibre laser beams in a real environment is investigated and the theoretical model of a high-power fibre laser propagating in a real environment is established. The influence of a collimating system and thermal blooming is considered together with atmospheric turbulence and mechanical jitter. The laser energy concentration of partially coherent beams in the far field is calculated and analysed based on the theoretical model. It is shown that the propagation performance of partially coherent beams depends on the collimating system, atmospheric turbulence, mechanical jitter and thermal blooming. The propagation performance of partially coherent beams and fully coherent beams is studied and the results show that partially coherent beams are less sensitive to the influence of thermal blooming, which results in that the energy degeneration for partially coherent beams is only 50% of that for fully coherent beams. Both partially coherent beams and fully coherent beams become less sensitive to thermal blooming when the average structural constant of the refraction index fluctuations increases to 1.7 × 10^-14 m^-2/3. The investigation presents a reference for applications of a high-power fibre laser system.
