Axial intensity distribution of truncated Bessel-Gauss beams in a turbulent atmosphere

By means of the extended Huygens-Fresnel integral formula in the paraxial approximation and based on the fact that a hard aperture function can be expanded into a finite sum of complex Gaussian functions, an approximate analytical expression for Bessel-Gauss beams propagating in a turbulent atmosphere truncated by an aperture has been derived. The result is more convenient for studying the axial intensity distribution properties of Bessel-Gauss beams with different topological charges in a turbulent atmosphere than the usual way by using diffraction integral directly. Utilizing the analytical expression, the axial intensity distribution of such kind of beam in a turbulent atmosphere is investigated numerically in detail. Results show that the intensity distribution on the axis changes with the variation of the beam topological charge m, the wavelength and beam waist width of the initial beam and the turbulent strength.     

Partially coherent non-paraxial vectorial Hermite-Gaussian beams and their far-field properities

The far-field theory of partially coherent vectorial non-paraxial beams is expanded and their analytical propagation expressions of the Wigner distribution function matrices and the cross-spectral-density matrices in free space are derived using the far-field approximation. Some interesting cases, in particular the vectorial non-paraxial partially coherent Hermite-Gaussian (HG) beams, are discussed and treated as special cases of our general expressions. It is shown that the f_σ and f parameters play an important role in determining vector and non-paraxiality of partially coherent HG beams. When two parameters are small enough, scalar and paraxial vectorial approximation is allowed; otherwise, non-paraxial vectorial approximation is applied. But the decided parameters additionally affect their far-field divergence angles.     

Characteristics of scintillations and bit error rate of partially coherent rectangular array beams in turbulence

According to the paraxial form of the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, the analytical formulas of the on-axis average irradiance and the on-axis scintillation index for a rectangular array Gaussian Schell-model (RAGSM) beams in atmospheric turbulence have been derived. The on-axis bit error rate has been analyzed quantitatively. Their effects of the turbulence intensity, the initial correlation length, and the array parameters including the beamlet number (M and N) and the array separation distance (x₀ and y₀) have been discussed. The results show that the correlated and uncorrelated superposition RAGSM beams exhibit the different on-axis intensity distribution, the similar variation of the on-axis scintillation and the bit error rate. At the nearer propagation distance the on-axis scintillation rises against propagation distance with the increasing beamlet number and the decreasing array separation distance, whereas the situation is reversed at the farther propagation distance. The effects of array parameters on the bit error rate are similar to that on the scintillation. For a given propagation distance the scintillation index increases with the stronger coherence and the larger waist width of the array beam.     

Optimal Truncation of Element Beam in a Coherent Fiber Laser Array

The beam quality of a coherent fiber laser array often suffers from the low fill factor of the Gaussian laser array. One simple and effective approach to improve the fill factor is to truncate the array element properly. An analytical expression for far-field intensity distribution of a truncated coherent fiber laser array is derived. Optimal truncation of the element beam in different coherent fiber laser arrays is obtained by using energy encircled in the far-field central-lobe as the beam quality criterion. By optimal truncation, energy encircled in the central-lobe can be 97% compared with the ideal case. The shift in optimal truncation parameter in the case of phase noise is also analyzed.

Turbulence distance of radial Gaussian Schell-model array beams

The effect of turbulence on the spreading of radial Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) array beams is studied quantitatively by examining the mean-squared beam width. The analytical expression for the turbulence distance z _T of radial GSM array beams is derived by using the integral transform technique, which indicates within what ranges radial GSM array beams will be less affected by turbulence. It is shown that the effect of turbulence on the spreading of radial GSM array beams can be reduced by choosing the suitable array beam parameters and the type of the beam superposition. In addition, a comparison with the previous work is also made.     

Propagation characteristics of flattened Gaussian beams through a misaligned optical system with a misaligned annular aperture

The approximate analytical formula for flattened Gaussian beams through a misaligned optical system with a misaligned annular aperture was derived by the extended Huygens–Fresnel principle. Some numerical simulations are illustrated to the effects on the propagation of flattened Gaussian beams by the misaligned annular aperture. To compare the difference between annular apertured system and circular apertured system, the circular apertured system is also studied. The results show that angle misalignments and lateral displacements of aperture create asymmetrical average intensity distribution at receiving plane z = 500. The effects on intensity distribution by angle misalignments of annular aperture were small. In annular aperture case, the smooth of intensity distribution was worse with escalating obscure ratio ? in near-field; the side-lobes increased and the central lobe decreased with escalating obscure ratio ? in far-field. At receiving plane z = 500: for circular aperture, the side-lobes decreased, even to be neglected, with the increasing of truncation parameter δ; for annular aperture, the side-lobes increased with the increasing of truncation parameter δ. In addition, it is found that the aligned thin lens can fix asymmetry of intensity distribution which was caused by the misaligned annular aperture.     

Effect of vectorial nature on spectral anomalies of ultrashort pulsed beams from a hard-edged aperture

Based on the vectorial Rayleigh–Sommerfeld diffraction integrals, the analytical expression for the spectral intensity of a vectorial nonparaxial ultrashort pulsed Gaussian beam diffracted at a rectangular hard-aperture is derived. The results of the far-field and paraxial cases can be regarded as special cases of the general expression. Effect of vectorial nature on spectral anomalies of ultrashort pulsed beams passing through a hard-edged aperture is analyzed in detail. It is shown that the spectral switch near the phase singularity, which is predicated under the condition of the scalar paraxial theory, disappears with the increasing effect of the vectorial and nonparaxial nature.

Influence of turbulence on the beam propagation factor of Gaussian Schell-model array beams

The analytical expression for the beam propagation factor (M²-factor) of Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) array beams propagating through atmospheric turbulence is derived. It is shown that the M²-factor of GSM array beams depends on the beam number, the relative beam separation distance, the beam coherence parameter, the type of beam superposition, and the strength of turbulence. The turbulence results in an increase of the M²-factor. However, for the superposition of the intensity the M²-factor is less sensitive to turbulence than that for the superposition of the cross-spectral density function. The M²-factor of GSM array beams is larger than that of the corresponding Gaussian array beams. However, the M²-factor of GSM array beams is less affected by turbulence than that of the corresponding Gaussian array beams. For the superposition of the cross-spectral density function a minimum of the M²-factor of GSM array beams may appear in turbulence, which is even smaller than that of the corresponding single GSM beams.

Propagation characteristics of elegant Laguerre-Gaussian beams in the fractional Hankel transform plane

The fractional Hankel transform (FRHT) system is applied to study the transformation properties of elegant Laguerre-Gaussian beams (ELGBs). An analytical formula is derived for the FRHT of ELGBs based on the definition of the FRHB. By using the derived formula and the definition of the kurtosis parameter, the analytical propagation expression for the kurtosis parameter of ELGBs in the FRHT plane is derived. Some detailed numerical examples are given to illustrate the analytical results. The results show that the intensity distribution and the kurtosis parameter of elegant Laguerre-Gaussian beams in the fractional Hankel transform plane not only depend on order p and index m of Laguerre polynomial, but also evolve periodically with fractional order p of fractional system.

Propagation properties of radial partially coherent flat-topped array beams in a turbulent atmosphere

With the help of the tensor method, the analytical expression for the cross-spectral density of the radial partially coherent flat-topped array (RPCFTA) beams propagating in a turbulent atmosphere is derived, where the correlated superposition and uncorrelated superposition are considered. The average intensity, the spatial coherence properties and power in bucket (PIB) of these kinds of beams are investigated in detail. It is shown by numerical results and analysis that the average intensity and the spatial coherence of the correlated or uncorrelated RPCFTA beams will change on propagation and this change is dependent upon the correlation of the source's beamlets and atmospheric turbulence. In addition, the comparisons of the average intensity and the spatial coherence between the correlated and the uncorrelated RPCFTA beams propagating both in turbulent atmosphere and in free space are also given, and some interesting results are obtained. The laser power of focus ability of the single PCFT beam is worse than that of the correlated RPCFTA beam and but better than that of the uncorrelated RPCFTA beam when propagation distance in turbulent atmosphere is far-field plane.     

Focal shift and focal switch of flat-topped Mathieu-Gaussian beams passing through an apertured lens system

By introducing a hard aperture function into a finite sum of complex Gaussian functions, an approximate analytical expression predominating the distribution of axial intensity for the flat-topped Mathieu-Gauss (FTMG) beams passing through a system with the aperture and lens separated has been derived. The focal shift and the focal switch effect of FTMG beams passing through the system is studied in detail. Numerical calculations have shown that the position of real focal plane is not coincident with the geometrical focus but is somewhat shifted toward the lens. The focal shift and focal switch of FTMG beams take place when the relative separation s/f = 1 by a suitable choice of beam parameter and truncation parameter, for example, the beam parameter is smaller than its corresponding critical value or the truncation parameter is between its two corresponding critical values.
