提出一种产生尺寸可调局域空心光束的新型光学元件——可拆式组合轴棱锥,这种新型光学元件是在传统轴棱锥的中部沿其轴线方向贯通开设一圆孔,在圆孔内嵌设一第二轴棱锥组成。通过更换不同底角的第二轴棱锥(或第一轴棱锥),可形成不同尺寸的单个局域空心光束或周期性局域空心光束。从几何光学出发分析了产生局域空心光束的原理,计算了局域空心光束的相关参量。由衍射积分理论分析和模拟了新型光学元件的光强分布特性。几何光学和衍射理论所得分析结果基本吻合。     

Multiple filamentation generated by focusing femtosecond laser with axicon

Multiple filamentation has been observed when focusing a femtosecond laser pulse into a methanol solution with an axicon. It is found that multiple long filaments are located on the central spot and ring structures of the quasi-Bessel beam created by the axicon. Since the quasi-Bessel profile is determined by the axicon properties, the axicon has been suggested as a simple optics to control multiple filaments.     

无衍射光的干涉实验与理论分析

分析了两束无衍射光的干涉场分布形式和干涉条纹轨迹。将一束单色光入射两小孔产生的两束相干光照射轴锥镜,在轴锥镜后将产生两束无衍射光。根据单束倾斜光入射轴锥镜的无衍射理论,分析出这两束无衍射光产生的干涉场为每束无衍射光的无衍射场的线性叠加。利用零阶贝塞尔函数的零点公式,推导出两束无衍射光的干涉条纹的轨迹为双曲线。计算结果表明,干涉场中两中心的间距与两孔实际的间距和干涉场距轴锥镜的距离成正比。实验结果与理论仿真相一致。     

圆锥透镜对倾斜球面波光束的衍射模式

由于球面波入射圆锥透镜所产生的出射光束具有焦深长和中心光斑直径较小的特点,适合激光通信以及长距离测量.在实际使用中,入射球面波很可能与圆锥透镜的光轴发生倾斜.研究了圆锥透镜对倾斜球面波光束的衍射特性,通过基尔霍夫衍射理论以及稳相法分析,分析了其径向衍射光场分布形式,并用计算机进行了仿真.使用了半径为15 mm、底角为1°的圆锥透镜进行实验,并对仿真结果进行了验证.仿真和实验证明,减小入射球面波曲率半径、出射光束传输距离和入射光束倾斜角都可以减弱入射光束倾斜对衍射图的影响.     

Formation of expanded smooth quasi-Bessel beam range due to the transformation of the Gaussian beam in absorbing axicon

The quasi-Bessel beam range produced by an absorbing axicon is investigated. It is shown that when an incident Gaussian beam is used, the absorbing axicon stretches (with respect to transparent axicon case) the uniform on-axis light intensity distribution length, as well as expanding the quasi-Bessel beam range. In addition, the peak of axial light distribution is shifted from the axicon tip. As a result any spatial modulation formed due to the bluntness of the tip is reduced close to the on-axis intensity peak, which becomes more smooth and uniform.     

On-axis irradiance distribution of axicons illuminated by spherical wave

The focusing properties of an axicon illuminated by spherical wave are investigated. We define the Fresnel number of the focusing axicon impinged on by spherical wave. The on-axis irradiance distribution versus Fresnel number is studied. It is shown that, similar with the plane wave, focal squeeze, which is defined as deviations for the position of the maximum irradiance, also appears in low Fresnel number. Besides, the on-axis irradiance will be smoothed for appropriate curvature radius of the divergent spherical wave; meanwhile, when the convergent spherical wave is incident on the axicon, the on-axis irradiance varies more seriously.     

基于轴棱锥产生近似无衍射Mathieu光束的新方法

提出了一种基于轴棱锥产生零阶近似无衍射Mathieu光束的新方法,利用轴棱锥聚焦具有椭圆高斯振幅调制的平面波,得到近似零阶无衍射Mathieu光束.根据椭圆高斯平面波经轴棱锥衍射的衍射积分公式,对光强分布进行了数值模拟,依据几何光学模型计算了近似无衍射Mathieu光束的最大无衍射距离,并设计了实验对理论模拟的结果进行了验证.实验采用柱透镜和准直扩束系统变换圆高斯光束产生具有椭圆高斯振幅调制的平面波,用轴棱锥聚焦该平面波后得到近似无衍射Mathieu光束,实验结果与理论模拟和计算相符.     

DESIGN OF DIFFRACTIVE-PHASE AXICON ILLUMINATED BY A GAUSSIAN-PROFILE BEAM

The diffractive-phase axicon can convert the Gaussian-profile beam into axial uniform intensity distribution with long focal depth and high lateral resolution. Two types of phase-retardation functions for the nonuniform-illuminating axicon are derived in terms of the ray tracing and the geometrical law of energy conservation. Based on the general theory of the amplitude-phase retrieval in optical system and the iteration algorithm, the optimization design of the phase distribution of the diffractive-phase axicon can be achieved. The simulation celculations show that the new approach may successfully offer the design of the desired diffractive-phase axicon with long focal depth and high lateral resolution. A comparison of the performances of the holographic axicon with the phase-retardation functions from the geometrical optics prediction and the diffractive-phase axicon designed by the new approach is also presented.

Based on stationary phase method and the numerical calculation, the diffraction field behind the axicon is investigated. It is shown that, by using this kind of axicons, we can obtain the uniform-intensity focal segment within the desired range.     

基于无衍射光莫尔条纹的轴锥透镜锥角测量方法

为了准确地测量轴锥透镜锥角值,根据无衍射光同心圆环间距不随距离改变的特点和莫尔条纹放大的特性,提出了一种基于无衍射光莫尔条纹的轴锥透镜锥角的测量方法。当无衍射光束经分束器分光合束后形成莫尔条纹,平移其中一束光在图像传感器上的位置,实现莫尔条纹数量的变化,通过记录不同莫尔条纹下的中心距离计算出轴锥透镜锥角。实验以锥角为0.5°的轴锥透镜作为被测对象,与CMM测量结果进行比较,该文提出的方法相对测量误差近似为0.54%,重复性为0.86″,验证了该文方法测量轴锥透镜锥角的可行性。     

Spatial distribution of the intensity of laser beam diffracted on the conical surface of an axicon

The field of diffraction from an axicon irradiated by a He-Ne laser has been studied. For this purpose the diffracting surface of the axicon is conceptually divided into tangential Fresnel regions. It is shown that evaluation of the Fresnel integral from only the first region provides a correct pattern of spatial distribution of the diffraction field of the axicon. The calculated distribution coincides sufficiently well with the experimental pattern. It is also shown that with a change in the laser beam radius and in the rounding of axicon vertex the location of maxima and minima of the diffraction field does not practically change.

Prospects for the LIBS study of films using an axicon optical system

The features of the application of an axicon optical system for the LIBS sampling are described. For the axicon sampling, the crater depth is less than that for a conventional spherical lens. The zone of thermal effect around a sampling point is also reduced. The results obtained indicate that the axicon optical system is promising for the thin-film study.     

Extending the depth of focus with high NA lens axicon

Based on vectorial Debye theory, tight focusing of x-polarized beam with high NA lens axicon is studied. The high NA lens axicon utilizes spherical aberration to duplicate the performance of an axicon and to create an extended focal line. The intensity distribution in the focal region is illustrated by numerical calculations. We show that the high NA lens axicon system can generates a sub wavelength beam (0.826λ) with depth of focus around 10λ.

Generation of high quality tunable Bessel beams using a liquid-immersion axicon

By immersing a conventional glass axicon in index-matching liquid, we generated high quality, tunable, quasi-non-diffracting Bessel beams. The aberrations resulting from the roundness of the axicon tip are minimized when a large base angle is used in liquid-immersion. This configuration also allows coarse and fine tunability through changing the liquid and adjusting the temperature, respectively. Our experimental results match very well with calculated intensity profiles. We succeeded to generate two-meter long plasma channels in air by focusing femtosecond laser pulses with the liquid-immersion axicon.     

椭圆高斯光束产生近似无衍射Bessel-Gauss光

研究了轴棱锥聚焦像散椭圆高斯光束的光场分布特性,根据菲涅耳衍射积分理论导出了椭圆高斯光束经轴棱锥衍射后的光场分布,通过数值积分给出椭圆高斯光束经轴棱锥聚焦后的近轴光场强度分布情况,将其与圆高斯光束产生的近似Bessel-Gauss场进行比较,发现椭圆高斯光束经轴棱锥聚焦后的光束在一定的传播距离内也具有无衍射特性,且轴上光强分布与圆高斯光束产生的Bessel-Gauss光束的轴上光强分布具有相似的形式,而这种无衍射光场的强度在垂直于光轴的平面上不再是柱对称分布。根据近轴球面波产生近似Bessel光束的最大无衍射距离公式计算了椭圆Bessel-Gauss光束在子午面和弧矢面上的最大无衍射距离,整个光束的无衍射距离由入射到轴棱锥上的椭圆光斑短轴方向的尺寸决定。
