Wave dislocation reactions in non-paraxial Gaussian beams
For exact (i.e., non-paraxial) waves 1c, representing freely propagating Gaussian beams in two and three dimensions, the patterns of phase singularities, that is zeros of 11,, are studied in detail. The zeros (points in two dimensions, and rings in three) are phase dislocations (optical vortices). The waves depend on a single parameter L , representing the radius of the waist of the beam. As L ...
متن کاملEffects of aberration on paraxial wave beams: beam tracing versus quasi-optical solutions
This paper aims to clarify the role of aberration effects on the propagation and absorption of wave beams in inhomogeneous dispersive and dissipative media. We consider models in which aberration effects can be caused by the presence of either caustics or spatially dispersive absorption, with reference to the propagation near a cut-off or to the electron cyclotron (EC) resonance, respectively. ...
متن کاملThermal distortions of non-Gaussian beams
Thermal effects are already important in currently operating interferometric gravitational wave detectors. Planned upgrades of these detectors involve increasing optical power to combat quantum shot noise. We consider the ramifications of this increased power for one particular class of laser beams— wide, flat-topped, mesa beams. In particular we model a single mesa beam Fabry–Perot cavity havi...
متن کاملPropagation-invariant beams with quantum pendulum spectra: from Bessel beams to Gaussian beam-beams.
We describe a new class of propagation-invariant light beams with Fourier transform given by an eigenfunction of the quantum mechanical pendulum. These beams, whose spectra (restricted to a circle) are doubly periodic Mathieu functions in azimuth, depend on a field strength parameter. When the parameter is zero, pendulum beams are Bessel beams, and as the parameter approaches infinity, they res...
متن کاملGeneralized beam quality factor of aberrated truncated Gaussian laser beams.
We outline a theory for the calculation of the beam quality factor of an aberrated laser beam. We provide closed-form equations that show that the beam quality factor of an aberrated Gaussian beam depends on all primary aberrations except tilt, defocus, and x-astigmatism. The model is verified experimentally by implementing aberrations as digital holograms in the laboratory.
