Propagation of modified Bessel-Gaussian beams in turbulence

We investigate the propagation characteristics of modified Bessel-Gaussian beams traveling in a turbulent atmosphere. The source beam formulation comprises a Gaussian exponential and the summation of modified Bessel functions. Based on an extended Huygens–Fresnel principle, the receiver plane intensity is formulated and solved down to a double integral stage. Source beam illustrations show that modified Bessel-Gaussian beams, except the lowest order case, will have well-like shapes. Modified Bessel-Gaussian beams with summations will experience lobe slicing and will display more or less the same profile regardless of order content. After propagating in turbulent atmosphere, it is observed that a modified Bessel-Gaussian beam will transform into a Bessel-Gaussian beam. Furthermore it is seen that modified Bessel-Gaussian beams with different Bessel function combinations, but possessing nearly the same profile, will differentiate during propagation. Increasing turbulence strength is found to accelerate the beam transformation toward the eventual Gaussian shape.     

Three-dimensional focus shaping with cylindrical vector beams

A three-dimensional focus shaping technique using the combination of cylindrical polarization with binary diffractive optical element is proposed. The energy density pattern at the vicinity of the focus can be tailored in three dimensions by appropriately adjusting the parameters of the cylindrical vector beam illumination, numerical aperture of the objective lens and the design of the binary diffractive optical element. Focus with extended depth of focus that has both transversal and longitudinal flattop profile is obtained. Optical bubble that has a total dark volume surrounded by high field distributions is also shown. Potential applications of this focus shaping technique are discussed.

Generation and tight-focusing properties of cylindrical vector circular Airy beams

Tight-focusing properties of cylindrical vector circular Airy beams [i.e., azimuthally polarized (AP) circular Airy beam and radially polarized (RP) circular Airy beam] passing through a high numerical aperture thin lens are investigated in detail. It is found that a super long subwavelength dark channel with full width at half maximum about 0.49λ and depth of focus (DOF) about 52λ can be achieved near the focal region for the case of tight focusing of an AP circular Airy beam, and a super long needle with DOF about 27.5λ of strong longitudinally polarized field can be obtained near the focal region for the case of tight focusing of a RP circular Airy beam. Furthermore, we report experimental generation of an AP circular Airy. Our results will be useful for atom guiding and trapping, particle acceleration and fluorescent imaging.     

Propagation of cylindrical vector beams in a turbulent atmosphere

<正>Based on the extended Huygens-Presnel principle,the propagation of cylindrical vector beams in a turbulent atmosphere is investigated.The intensity distribution and the polarization degree of beams on propagation are studied. It is found that the beam profile has a Gaussian shape under the influence of the atmospheric turbulence,and the polarization distribution shows a dip in the cross section as the beam propagates in the turbulent atmosphere.It is also found that the beam profile and the polarization distribution are closely related to beam parameter and atmospheric turbulence.     

Configurable three-dimensional optical cage generated from cylindrical vector beams

We propose a new approach to generate a controllable three-dimensional (3D) optical cage by double-mode cylindrical vector beam in the vicinity of focus, by controlling the polarization state of beam. The simulation results show that the 3D optical cage of spheroid surface shape with a sharp dark region surrounded by a uniform optical barrier with a maximum deviation of 2% is achieved. The finite-difference time-domain calculation of optical force validates that such a kind of 3D optical cage has the trapping capability of the low-refractive-index particles with the size being much smaller than the light wavelength.

Propagation of partially coherent Bessel-Gaussian beams in turbulent atmosphere

The characteristics of partially coherent Bessel-Gaussian beams propagating in turbulent atmosphere are investigated. Based on the extended Huygens–Fresnel principle, the influence of topological charges and coherence of the source on the intensity and the degree of coherence in the received plane are considered. The influence of atmospheric turbulence on beam profile and coherence in the received plane is also analyzed. It is found that a Bessel-Gaussian shaped intensity distribution will eventually transform into a Gaussian distribution after propagating in turbulent atmosphere. Meanwhile, topological charges, coherence of the source and atmospheric turbulence will also influence the propagation characterizations of the beams.

Flexible generation of femtosecond cylindrical vector beams(Invited Paper)

Femtosecond(fs)cylindrical vector beams(CVBs)have found use in many applications in recent years.However,the existing rigid generation methods seriously limit its development.Here,we propose a flexible method for generating fs-CVBs with arbitrary polarization order by employing half wave plates and vortex retarders.The polarization state,autocorrelation width,pulse width,and spectrum features of the input and generated CVB pulses are measured and compared.The results verify that the generated CVBs remain in the fs regime with no appreciable temporal distortion,and the energy conversion efficiency can reach as high as 96.5%,even for a third-order beam.As a flexible way to generate fs-CVBs,this method will have great significance for many applications.     

The Wigner distribution functions of coherent and partially coherent Bessel-Gaussian beams

Based on the integral representation of the Bessel functions and the generating function of the Tricomi function, an analytical expression of the Wigner distribution function (WDF) for a coherent or partially coherent Bessel-Gaussian beam is presented. The reduced two-dimensional WDFs are also demonstrated graphically, which reveals the dependence of the reduced WDFs on the beam parameters.     

Intensity transformation of vector Bessel beams using a multilayer system

We theoretically investigate the generation of vector Bessel beams of the order m using a phase shifted superposition of TE and TM electromagnetic Bessel beams. Such Bessel beams are characterized by the intensity profile described by the superposition of squared Bessel functions of the orders (m-1) and (m+1). We derive the conditions for creating the special distributions of the intensity, which are determined by only one Bessel function, or . We offer the approach of intensity transformation based on the Bessel beam transmission through a multilayer system. Finally, we reveal the perfect intensity transformation transferring the whole energy from - to -profile of intensity distribution.     

Focusing of partially coherent Bessel-Gaussian beams through a high-numerical-aperture objective

The focusing properties of partially coherent Bessel-Gaussian beams passing through a high-numerical-aperture objective are studied based on vectorial Debye theory. Expressions for the intensity distribution, degree of coherence |mu|, and degree of polarization P are derived near the focus. Numerical calculations are performed to analyze the influences of varying corresponding parameters on the intensity distribution, |mu|, and P in the focal region. It is shown that the intensity, |mu|, and P in the focal region are all influenced by varying the effective coherent length L(c) of incident beams and maximal angle alpha determined by the numerical aperture of the objective. Also, the linearly polarized incident field is found to be depolarized after it is focused by a high-numerical-aperture objective.
