The Beam Propagation Factor of Nonparaxial Truncated Flattened Gaussian Beams

By using the second-order moment of the power density, the beam width, far-field divergence angle and M² factor of nonparaxial truncated flattened Gaussian (FG) beams are derived analytically. It is shown that the M² factor of nonparaxial truncated FG beams depends not only on the truncation parameter δ and beam order N, but also on the initial waist-width to wavelength ratio w₀/λ. The far-field divergence angle approaches an asymptotic value of θ_max=63.435° when the truncation parameter δ → 0. For the special cases of N = 0 and δ → ∞ our results reduce to those of nonparaxial truncated Gaussian beams and nonparaxial untruncated FG beams, respectively.     

The beam quality of nonparaxial Hermite-sine-Gaussian beam

Based on the theory of the second intensity moment of nonparaxial scalar beam and the method of angular spectrum, the expressions for the far-field divergence angle, waist width and M² factor of nonparaxial Hermite-sine-Gaussian (HSiG) beams are derived. Calculation and analysis show the dependence of the far-field divergence angle of nonparaxial HSiG beams on the parameter w₀/λ, as well as on order m, And it with even and odd orders approach 73.898° and 63.435° as w₀/λ → 0. With increasing order m and the parameter w₀/λ, the waist width increase monotonously, which is same as paraxial case. But nonparaxial M² factor is different from paraxial case, it cannot only less than 1, but also approach 0 as w₀/λ → 0.     

Far-field properties and beam quality of vectorial Hermite–Laguerre–Gaussian beams beyond the paraxial approximation

The far-field properties and beam quality of vectorial nonparaxial Hermite–Laguerre–Gaussian (HLG) beams are studied in detail, where, instead of the second-order-moments-based M² factor, the extended power in the bucket (PIB) and βparameter are used to characterize the beam quality in the far field and the intensity in the formulae is replaced by the z component of the time-averaged Poynting vector S_z. It is found that the S_z PIB and βparameter of vectorial nonparaxial HLG beams depend on the mode indices n, m, αparameter and waist-width-to-wavelength ratio w₀/λ and the PIB and βparameter are additionally dependent on the bucket's size taken.

Generalized beam propagation factor of hard-edged circular apertured diffracted Bessel–Gaussian beams

Based on the truncated second-order moments method on the cylindrical coordinate systems and the incomplete gamma function, an analytical expression of the generalized beam propagation factor (M_G² factor) of hard-edged circular apertured diffracted Bessel–Gaussian beams is derived and illustrated numerically. It is shown that the M_G² factor of hard-edged diffracted BGBs mainly depends on the truncation parameter δ and the beam parameters m and η. The results can be reduced to that for the non-truncated Bessel–Gaussian beams case and that for the truncated fundamental Gaussian beams case under certain conditions, respectively. The power fraction is also discussed analytically and numerically.     

Propagation properties of partially coherent modified Bessel–Gauss beams

Starting from the propagation law of partially coherent light, the analytical propagation equations of partially coherent modified Bessel–Gauss beams (MBGBs) through a paraxial optical ABCD system are derived and illustrated with typical application examples. Furthermore, by using the intensity moments method and integral transformation technique, the important characteristic parameters, including the beam width, far-field divergence angle, M² factor and kurtosis parameter of partially coherent MBGBs, are expressed in a closed and simple form. As a result, some basic properties of MBGBs and the dependence of the M² factor and kurtosis parameter on the spectral degree of coherence and beam order are illustrated both analytically and numerically.

Effects of the deformation of reflection volume Bragg gratings on the M-factor of super-Gaussian laser beams

When high-power laser beams pass through a volume Bragg grating (VBG), the surface of VBG occurs distortion because of thermal effects, and it results in the decline of the grating’s performance. Considering distortion of the surface induces differences of the index and period, the scalar wave equations for super-Gaussian (SG) laser beams propagating in the reflection VBG have been solved by using finite-different and sparse matrix methods. The changes of the total power reflection coefficient, the beam width, the far-field beam angle and the M²-factor for the laser beams through the reflection VBG with deformation have been analyzed quantitatively. It can be shown that the deformation of the VBG affects evidently on the intensity and phase distributions, the total power reflection coefficient, the beam width, the far-field divergence angle and the M²-factor. The beam width, the far-field divergence angle, and the M²-factor of the output beams increase significantly with the distortions of the grating. The influence of the distortions of the VBG on the power reflection coefficient, the far-field divergence angle and the M²-factor of the output beams are smaller for higher beam orders.

CHHC and H–H magnetization exchange: Analysis by experimental solid-state NMR and 11-spin density-matrix simulations

A protocol is presented for correcting the effect of non-specific cross-polarization in CHHC solid-state MAS NMR experiments, thus allowing the recovery of the ¹H–¹H magnetization exchange functions from the mixing-time dependent buildup of experimental CHHC peak intensity. The presented protocol also incorporates a scaling procedure to take into account the effect of multiplicity of a CH₂ or CH₃ moiety. Experimental CHHC buildup curves are presented for l-tyrosine·HCl samples where either all or only one in 10 molecules are U–¹³C labeled. Good agreement between experiment and 11-spin SPINEVOLUTION simulation (including only isotropic ¹H chemical shifts) is demonstrated for the initial buildup (t_mix < 100 μs) of CHHC peak intensity corresponding to an intramolecular close (2.5 Å) H–H proximity. Differences in the initial CHHC buildup are observed between the one in 10 dilute and 100% samples for cases where there is a close intermolecular H–H proximity in addition to a close intramolecular H–H proximity. For the dilute sample, CHHC cross-peak intensities tended to significantly lower values for long mixing times (500 μs) as compared to the 100% sample. This difference is explained as being due to the dependence of the limiting total magnetization on the ratio N_obs/N_tot between the number of protons that are directly attached to a ¹³C nucleus and hence contribute significantly to the observed ¹³C CHHC NMR signal, and the total number of ¹H spins into the system. ¹H–¹H magnetization exchange curves extracted from CHHC spectra for the 100% l-tyrosine·HCl sample exhibit a clear sensitivity to the root sum squared dipolar coupling, with fast buildup being observed for the shortest intramolecular distances (2.5 Å) and slower, yet observable buildup for the longer intermolecular distances (up to 5 Å).     

Analytical propagation equation of astigmatic Hermite–Gaussian beams through a 4×4 paraxial optical system and their symmetrizing transformation

Starting from the Collins formula, a closed-form propagation equation of astigmatic Hermite–Gaussian (H–G) beams through a 4×4 paraxial optical system is derived, which permits us to calculate the irradiance distribution at any propagation plane and to study the symmetrization of astigmatic standard and elegant H–G beams. A detailed symmetrizing transformation of astigmatic H–G beams through a three-cylindrical-lens mode converter is illustrated both analytically and numerically. It is found that in accordance with the second-order moments characterization, there are two types of beam symmetrization. The transformation of standard H–G beams through the three-cylindrical-lens mode converter belongs to the perfect symmetrization, whereas the transformation of elegant H–G beams is the imperfect one.     

Propagation invariants of twisted Gaussian Schell-model beams

The second-order moments method is used to study the M² factor and intrinsic astigmatism of twisted Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beams. It is shown that the M² factor of twisted GSM beams defined by the determinate of the 4×4 variance matrix is a propagation invariant and is independent of the beam twist, whereas the twist affects the intrinsic astigmatism of twisted GSM beams.     

The 2D {P} Spin-Echo-Difference Constant-Time [C, H]-HMQC Experiment for Simultaneous Determination of JH3′P and JC4′P in C-Labeled Nucleic Acids and Their Protein Complexes

A two-dimensional {³¹P} spin-echo-difference constant-time [¹³C, ¹H]-HMQC experiment (2D {³¹P}-sedct-[¹³C, ¹H]-HMQC) is introduced for measurements of ³J_C4′P and ³J_H3′P scalar couplings in large ¹³C-labeled nucleic acids and in DNA–protein complexes. This experiment makes use of the fact that ¹H–¹³C multiple-quantum coherences in macromolecules relax more slowly than the corresponding ¹³C single-quantum coherences. ³J_C4′P and ³J_H3′P are related via Karplus-type functions with the phosphodiester torsion angles β and ε, respectively, and their experimental assessment therefore contributes to further improved quality of NMR solution structures. Data are presented for a uniformly ¹³C, ¹⁵N-labeled 14-base-pair DNA duplex, both free in solution and in a 17-kDa protein–DNA complex.
