Composite optical vortices in two noncollinear cosh-Gaussian vortex beams and their propagation properties in free space

The composite optical vortices (OVs) formed by superimposing two parallel, noncollinear cosh-Gaussian (ChG) vortex beams at the waist plane and their propagation in free space are studied. The dependence of the number, position and net topological charge of composite OVs on the control parameter, such as the relative phase, amplitude ratio, waist-width ratio, relative off-axis distance and decentered parameter, and on the propagation distance is illustrated numerically. A comparison with the previous work is also made.     

Composite optical vortices in noncollinear Laguerre--Gaussian beams and their propagation in free space

Taking two Laguerre-Gaussian beams with topological charge 1 = ±1 as an example, this paper studies the composite optical vortices formed by two noncollinear Laguerre-Gaussian beams with different phases, amplitudes, waist widths, off-axis distances, and their propagation in free space. It is shown by detailed numerical illustrative examples that the number and location of composite vortices at the waist plane are variable by varying the relative phase β, amplitude ratio η, waist width ratio ξ, or off-axis distance ratio μ. The net topological charge lnet is not always equal to the sum lsum of charges of the two component beams. The motion, creation and annihilation of composite vortices take place in the free-space propagation, and the net charge during the propagation remains unchanged and equals to the net charge at the waist plane.

The influence of turbulence on propagation properties of partially coherent sinh-Gaussian beams and their beam quality in the far field

Based on the extended Huygens–Fresnel principle, the closed-form propagation equation of partially coherent Sinh-Gaussian (ShG) beams through the turbulent atmosphere has been derived by using the quadratic approximation of the Rytov's phase structure function. The influence of turbulence on propagation properties of partially coherent ShG beams and their beam quality in the far field are studied both analytically and numerical. The fully coherent ShG beam has been treated as a special case of the partially coherent ShG beam when the degree of spatial coherence α=∞. It is shown that in comparison with the free-space propagation the turbulence accelerates the evolution of three stages that partially coherent ShG beams undergo. The smaller α is, the less partially coherent ShG beams are affected by the turbulence. In particular, we find that the β parameter decreases as the decentered parameter δ increases, but the dependence of the Strehl ratio on δ is not monotonous. There exists an optimal δ_opt, the influence of turbulence on the maximum intensity of the corresponding partially coherent ShG beam with δ_opt is the smallest. Therefore, a suitable choice of δ may reduce the influence of turbulence on the beam quality in the far field in practice.     

Spatial coherence properties and directionality of partially coherent cosh-Gaussian beams

Based on the theory of optical coherence, the spatial coherence properties and directionality of partially coherent cosh-Gaussian (ChG) beams are studied. It is shown that unlike Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beams, in the strict sense there do not exist partially coherent ChG beams which may produce the same far-field radiant intensity distribution as a fully coherent laser beam. However, under certain conditions it is possible to find partially coherent ChG beams with the same far-field radiant intensity distribution as a fully coherent laser beam.     

非均匀部分相干光束在自由空间中的传输

本文介绍了非均匀部分相干光束的概念, 并用数值模拟的方法详细研究了其在自由空间传输后的变化. 研究结果表明, 经过自由空间传输后非均匀部分相干光束会发生不同于传统相干模型光束的显著变化. 这种变化和光束传输距离、光源空间相干度分布、光源光强分布密切相关. 经过传输后, 源平面自相干附近点的空间相干度发生突变, 在短距离传输过程中源平面高相干区域的空间相干度会降低, 接收面各点的空间相干曲线不再相同, 随着传输距离增加, 非均匀空间相干度会逐渐趋于均匀.     

Coherence vortices of partially coherent beams in the far field

Based on the propagation law of cross-spectral density function, studied in this paper are the coherence vortices of partially coherent, quasi-monochromatic singular beams with Gaussian envelope and Schell-model correlator in the far field, where our main attention is paid to the evolution of far-field coherence vortices into intensity vortices of fully coherent beams. The results show that, although there are usually no zeros of intensity in partially coherent beams with Gaussian envelope and Schell-model correlator, zeros of spectral degree of coherence exist. The coherence vortices of spectral degree of coherence depend on the relative coherence length, mode index and positions of pairs of points. If a point and mode index are kept fixed, the position of coherence vortices changes with the increase of the relative coherence length. For the low coherent case there is a circular phase dislocation. In the coherent limit coherence vortices become intensity vortices of fully coherent Laguerre--Gaussian beams.     

Partially coherent vectorial cosh-Gaussian beams beyond the paraxial approximation

The concept of partially coherent vectorial nonparaxial cosh-Gaussian (ChG) beams is introduced, and their analytical propagation expressions for the cross-spectral density matrix in free space are derived by using the generalized vectorial Rayleigh diffraction integrals. Some interesting cases, in particular, the vectorial nonparaxial Gaussian-Schell-model (GSM) beams are discussed and treated as special cases of our general expressions. It is shown that the f and f_σ parameters play a crucial role in determining the vectorial property and nonparaxiality of partially coherent ChG beams, but the decentered parameter additionally affects their behavior.

Hollow Gaussian Schell-model beam and its propagation

In this paper, we present a new model, hollow Gaussian Schell-model beams (HGSMBs), to describe the practical dark hollow beams. An analytical propagation formula for HGSMBs passing through a paraxial first-order optical system is derived based on the theory of coherence. Based on the derived formula, an application example showing the influence of spatial coherence on the propagation of beams is illustrated. It is found that the beam propagating properties of HGSMBs will be greatly affected by their spatial coherence. Our model provides a very convenient way for analyzing the propagation properties of partially coherent dark hollow beams.

Propagation factor of a truncated partially coherent flat-topped beam in turbulent atmosphere

Analytical expression for the propagation factor of a truncated partially coherent flat-topped (FT) beam in turbulent atmosphere is derived based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel integral and the second-order moments of the Wigner distribution function. Numerical results show that the radius of the aperture (i.e., truncation parameter) has strong influence on the evolution properties of the propagation factor of a truncated partially coherent FT beam, and the advantage of a truncated partially coherent FT beam over a truncated Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beam or a truncated coherent FT beam for overcoming the turbulence-induced degradation disappears gradually with the decrease of the radius of the aperture.
