Propagation of Airy-Gaussian beams in a quadratic-index medium

The propagation properties of the Airy-Gaussian beams are introduced in a quadratic-indexmedium analytically and numerically. The linear momentum, the beam width, the beam centerof the Airy-Gaussian beam are analyzed. The Airy-Gaussian beam shape and curvature repeatsitself at intervals proportional to \hbox{$1/\sqrt{az_{R}}$}1/azRdue to the potential barrier. The bend (the transversely acceleration) and the periodicityof the Airy-Gaussian beam depend on the parameters χ ₀ anda z _R .

For small field amplitudes, the evolution equations are derived and the solutions are obtained, which describe nonlinear polarization effects.

Quantum theory of optical multistability in a two-photon three-level medium

An effective Hamiltonian for the two-level model is derived from the microscopic Hamiltonian of a three-level atom in a configuration, interacting through two-photon transitions with a lightfield. The effective Hamiltonian includes a term describing the optical Stark shift. With this effective Hamiltonian, we study the steady-state equation and the squeezing spectrum from a cavity field mode interacting with an ensemble of three level configuration atoms by a two-photon transition. It is shown that the inclusion of optical Stark shift brings about changes in drift and diffusion coefficients as well as additional nonzero correlations between the stochastic forces. As a result, although qualitative features remain unaltered, quantitative changes both in the transmission characteristics and the squeezing spectrum are significant.     

余弦高斯光束在梯度折射率介质中的传输特性

 为了研究光束在梯度折射率介质中的传输规律,利用广义惠更斯-菲涅耳衍射积分法,推导出余弦高斯光束在梯度折射率介质中传输的解析表达式,对余弦高斯光束在梯度折射率介质中的传输特性进行了分析,并进一步讨论了介质梯度折射率系数和调制参数对传输特性的影响。结果表明,余弦高斯光束在梯度折射率介质中传输时,轴上光强分布呈现周期性变化,横向光强分布受梯度折射率系数和调制参数影响较大。余弦高斯光束传输时具有不稳定性,通过适当调节参数,可在空间某位置实现余弦高斯光束的整形。

Propagation of elliptical cosh-Gaussian beams in a misaligned optical system

On the basis of the generalized diffraction integral formula for misaligned optical systems in spatial domain, an analytical propagation expression for the elliptical cosh-Gaussian beam (EChGB) passing through misaligned optical systems is obtained by using vector integration. Some numerical simulations are illustrated for the propagation properties of an EChGB through a misaligned optical transforming system with a misaligned thin lens. As an application example, the propagation of off-axial EChGBs passing through misaligned optical systems is studied, and further extensions are also pointed out.     

Crosstalk between two-photon and two-color (two-photon) excitation in optical beam induced current generation with two confocal excitation beams

We analyze the influence of residual two-photon excitation (2PE) in two-color (two-photon) optical beam induced current (2CE-OBIC) generation in wide band gap semiconductor samples. 2CE-OBIC generation is accomplished with two confocal excitation beams of separation angle θ and wavelengths λ₁ and λ₂ where , λ_e = hc/E_b, h is the Planck’s constant, c is speed of light in vacuum, and E_b is the energy band gap. Because the conduction band of the sample is a continuum, at least one excitation beam would also contribute an undesirable 2PE-OBIC signal that degrades the signal-to-noise ratio of the measured 2CE-OBIC response and broadens the effective OBIC distribution in the sample particularly when θ ≠ 0 or π. We show that the deleterious effects of crosstalk are reduced by a careful selection of λ₁ and λ₂ and the relative excitation beam intensities. λ₁ and λ₂ should be chosen to minimize the ratio of the two-photon absorption coefficients (β₁, β₂) to the 2CE absorption coefficient β₁₂ or at least satisfy the constraint: β₁ + β₂  β₁₂. Keeping the two excitation intensities equal is beneficial only when β₁ = β₂. Otherwise, it is advantageous to bias the intensity ratio towards the wavelength with a lower 2PE absorption coefficient.     

Propagation of paraxial circular symmetric beams in a general optical system

Starting from flattened Gaussian beams, we deduce analytical expressions for the propagation of paraxial circular symmetric beams through a general first-order optical system. It is shown that the propagation of any scalar beam in a paraxial domain takes the same form as that in free space. Three parameters were introduced to characterize the evolution of the propagating beam. Numerical examples are also presented to illustrate the effectiveness of this method.

Propagation of rotating parabolic cylindrical beams in nonlocal nonlinear medium

I introduce a class of rotating parabolic cylindrical beams in nonlocal nonlinear media. The rotating speed keeps fixed in the case of strong nonlocality and increases with the nonlocality being weak. For the strong nonlocal case, the analytical solutions of the modified Snyder Mitchell model agree well with the numerical simulations of the nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation. By simulating the propagation of the rotating parabolic cylindrical beams in liquid crystal and nonlinear thermal media numerically, I demonstrate that there exists the rotating parabolic cylindrical cosine Gaussian quasi-soliton state.
