可调谐艾里光束及其传输特性

艾里光束是一种新型无衍射光束,解决了激光在传播过程中的衍射效应。基于艾里变换技术,介绍一种可以通过椭圆平顶高斯光束产生的新型艾里光束,即可调谐艾里光束。通过理论计算,可以看出调节椭圆平顶高斯光束的束宽比可获得单尾艾里光束,同时,可调谐艾里光束的尾长可以通过调节入射椭圆平顶高斯光束的阶数来控制。通过研究,当束宽比p=1时,艾里光束的加速方向沿x轴45方向;p=1/2时,加速方向沿x轴31方向,p=1/3时,加速方向为沿x正方向,可见调节束宽比p的大小可以改变艾里光束的加速方向。     

对称艾里涡旋光束的传播特性

提出了一种对称艾里涡旋光束.在对称立方相位的基础上引入螺旋相位因子形成新的相位图,加载该相位的高斯光束经傅里叶变换后产生对称艾里涡旋光束.研究表明:对称艾里涡旋光束出现自聚焦现象,且由于轴上涡旋的存在,其中心呈现中空现象,涡旋结构携带的轨道角动量使光束在初始平面处发生旋转,拓扑荷数越大,中空结构越大,旋转角度也越大,而拓扑荷数的正负仅改变光束的旋向.理论分析表明,离轴涡旋在初始平面处,因与光轴中心距离较远,并不会影响对称艾里光束主瓣的能量,即中心并无光强为零区域,但随着传播距离的增加,离轴涡旋逐渐出现在对称艾里光束其中的一个主瓣上.此外,对称艾里光束还可以加载多个离轴涡旋,能同时无损伤地捕获多个微粒.该光束不仅具有自聚焦特性,并且其中心呈中空结构,同时还携带轨道角动量,在光学微操纵与生物医学等方面有潜在应用.     

啁啾艾里光束在非局域介质中的传播特性

本文基于包含非局域非线性效应的非线性薛定谔方程,采用分步傅里叶变换方法,详细研究了竞争非局域非线性介质中啁啾艾里光束的传输动力学特性。结果表明:啁啾可以改变单艾里光束的传输速度,且啁啾越大,脉冲偏移速度越大,但啁啾对光束的呼吸周期和振幅影响却不大。当初始输入为啁啾双艾里光束时,在弱非局域介质中,啁啾会使两光束间的排斥力增强,从而影响孤子的呼吸周期;而在强非局域介质中,两光束的相互作用较为复杂,表现为结构复杂的准周期特性,啁啾会导致准周期结构的周期变化,且随着啁啾绝对值的增大,准周期结构的周期变大,光束衍射增强。     

频谱非对称包络调制的圆对称艾里光束的传播特性研究

为了增强圆对称艾里光束的自聚焦能力,本文使用了非对称双曲正割函数对光束的频谱进行了包络调制研究,详细探讨了频谱中高、低频分量对自聚焦特性的影响.结果表明单纯增加频谱的高频分量,并不会使自聚焦能力持续增强,低频分量对光束的自聚焦特性同样起着不可或缺的作用.由于非对称包络可以灵活的调节高、低频分量的比重,因此调制效果要优于高通滤波和对称包络调制.当调制参数选取适当时,光束焦点峰值大幅增加,达到了调制前的3.4倍,同时焦斑尺寸减小了23.6%.最后,本文对理论分析结果进行了实验验证,实验结果与理论结果相吻合,证明了频谱的非对称包络调制是一种高效且易于实现的调制方法.

艾里光束通过负折射率介质的传输特性

为了研究艾里光束(Airy beams)通过负折射率介质中的传输特性,利用ABCD矩阵光学理论推导出了Airy光束通过负折射率介质的传输解析表达式.利用该解析表达式得到了Airy光束通过负折射率介质的传输特性.计算结果表明,Airy光束通过负折射率介质后的自加速和光强都可以通过负折射率介质的工作频率调控.Airy光束通过负折射率介质的横向偏转系数随传输距离z的增大而加速偏转;同时当传输距离z相同而负折射率介质的工作频率不同时,偏转系数也不相同.Airy光束的强度和偏转度都可以通过负折射率介质的工作频率调控.结果显示可以利用负折射率介质的工作频率方便有效地调控Airy光束,研究结果在光学器件设计和医学科学中都有潜在的应用价值.

有偏压光伏光折变晶体中艾里高斯光束的传输特性

采用分步傅里叶法,数值模拟研究了有偏压光伏光折变晶体中艾里高斯光束的传输特性.结果表明,当艾里高斯光束初始振幅和晶体的外加电场在一定范围内时,可以形成沿直线稳定传输的呼吸式孤子.调节初始振幅或外加电场可以控制孤子的峰值强度和呼吸周期.随着入射光场分布因子的变大,孤子的平均峰值强度先增大后减小,孤子的呼吸周期先变小后变大.随着光束衰减因子的增加,孤子的平均峰值强度先增大后减小,然后再增大.此外,光束入射角为负值时,孤子向左偏移,光束入射角为正值时,孤子向右偏移.入射角只改变孤子的输出位置,不影响孤子的强度、宽度和呼吸周期.

Airy beams beyond the paraxial approximation

The behavior of the vectorial Airy beams beyond the paraxial approximation is investigated. Indeed, closed-form (even though non exact) expressions for the electric components of the fields generated by the same boundary conditions, which should pertain to the scalar Airy beams, are obtained on the basis of the vectorial Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction integrals under suitable approximations. Such expressions may accompany more complete approaches, like that in Opt. Expr. 17, 22432 (2009), where a fully numerical analysis of the propagation of exponentially smoothed Airy beams has been presented, faithfully reproducing the conditions of their experimental demonstration as reported in Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 213907 (2007). Comments on other well known approaches to the investigation of the nonparaxial propagation of definite paraxial beams are also given.     

Airy光束在Kerr介质中的传输特性

通过对非线性薛定谔方程的研究,得出Airy光束在Kerr介质中的崩塌功率及有效束宽演化的解析表达式。经过数值计算发现,Airy光束在聚焦的Kerr介质中,其主瓣在开始传播时始终是会聚的;当输入功率小于临界崩塌功率时,Airy光束主瓣的中心部分出现局部崩塌。在不同的Kerr介质中, Airy光束的形状和传输轨道均能保持不变,如同在自由空间中传播,但光场大小的分布,随着不同的Kerr介质会发生改变:在Kerr的聚焦介质中,光场向中心聚焦;而在散焦的Kerr介质中,光场会发散。     

Manipulation of Airy Beams in Dynamic Parabolic Potentials

The propagation of finite energy Airy beams in dynamic parabolic potentials, including uniformly moving, accelerating, and oscillating potentials, is investigated. The propagation trajectories of Airy beams are strongly affected by the dynamic potentials, but the periodic inversion of the beam remains invariant. The results may broaden the potential applications of Airy beams, and also enlighten ideas on Airy beam manipulation in nonlinear regimes.     

Propagations of Airy Beams and Nonlinear Accelerating Optical Beams in Photorefractive Crystals with Asymmetric Nonlocality

The impact of the asymmetric nonlocal diffusion nonlinearity of Airy beams and nonlinear accelerating beams supported by photorefractive crystals is addressed. It is revealed how the asymmetric nonlocal response alters the evolution of these optical beams. It is found that the evolution of these beams presents a bending action under the influence of the diffusion nonlinearity. It is also shown that nonlinear accelerating beams can exist in photorefractive crystals with asymmetric nonlocality. These accelerating solutions have the same Airy‐like tail, and accelerate along parabolic trajectories. Soliton states are formed in the interaction of both in‐phase and out‐of‐phase Airy beams and nonlinear accelerating beams and also present a bending action because of the action of diffusion nonlinearity.     

Self-Imaging Effect Based on Airy Beams with Quadratic Phase Modulation

The self-imaging effect based on Airy beams with quadratic phase modulation (QPM) in 1 + 1 and 2 + 1 dimensions is studied both numerically and analytically. It is demonstrated that, in spite of spatial spectral shape being kept invariant, both the intensity pattern and the accelerating trajectory of this self-imaging effect depend considerably on the QPM. When the QPM parameter is negative, the self-imaging accelerating wave exhibits deceleration and then acceleration, and the self-imaging scope can be expanded. In the opposite case, the self-imaging extent would be narrowed and the self-imaging accelerating wave will only accelerate during propagation. Numerical simulations agree with the theoretical results very well. This study shows the possibility of controlling the self-imaging effect based on 1D and circular Airy beams, by purposely choosing appropriate QPM parameters.     

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.     

Propagation properties of Bessel and Bessel-Gaussian beams in a fractional Fourier transform optical system

The properties of Bessel-Gaussian beams (BGBs) and Bessel beams (BBs) propagating through a fractional Fourier transform (FRT) optical system have been investigated. The analytical transformation formulae for BBs and BGBs propagation through a FRT optical system are derived based on definition of the FRT in the cylindrical coordinate system. By using the derived formula, numerical examples are illustrated.     

Propagation of Airy beams from right-handed material to left-handed material

Based on the ABCD matrix formalism,the propagation property of an Airy beam from right-handed material(RHM) to left-handed material(LHM) is investigated.The result shows that when the Airy beam propagates in the LHM,the intensity self-bending due to its propagation in the RHM can be compensated.In particular,if the propagation distance in the RHM is equal to that in the LHM and the refractive index of the LHM is n L =-1,the transverse intensity distribution of the Airy beam can return to its original state.
