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 کاملulerian Gaussian beams for high-frequency wave propagation
We design an Eulerian Gaussian beam summation method for solving Helmholtz equations in the high-frequency regime. The traditional Gaussian beam summation method is based on Lagrangian ray tracing and local ray-centered coordinates. We propose a new Eulerian formulation of Gaussian beam theory which adopts global Cartesian coordinates, level sets, and Liouville equations, yielding uniformly dis...
متن کاملFast Multiscale Gaussian Wavepacket Transforms and Multiscale Gaussian Beams for the Wave Equation
We introduce a new multiscale Gaussian beam method for the numerical solution of the wave equation with smooth variable coefficients. The first computational question addressed in this paper is how to generate a Gaussian beam representation from general initial conditions for the wave equation. We propose fast multiscale Gaussian wavepacket transforms and introduce a highly efficient algorithm ...
متن کاملA Tale of Two Beams: Gaussian Beams and Bessel Beams
An overview is given of two types of focused beams, Gaussian beams and Bessel beams. First I describe some of the basic properties of Gaussian beams in homogeneous media which stay collimated over a certain distance range after which they diverge. Bessel beams are then described which are among a class of solutions to the wave equation that are diffraction-free and do not diverge when they prop...
متن کاملGaussian, Hermite-Gaussian, and Laguerre-Gaussian beams: A primer
The paper aims at presenting a didactic and self-contained overview of Gauss-Hermite and Gauss-Laguerre laser beam modes. The usual textbook approach for deriving these modes is to solve the Helmoltz electromagnetic wave equation within the paraxial approximation. Here, a different technique is presented: Using the plane wave representation of the fundamental Gaussian mode as seed function, all...
