Propagation of Airy-Hermite-Gaussian waveguide modes in free space.
Let us know how access to this document benefits you. The cavity modes of metal strip waveguide lasers are most simply expressed in terms of Airy-Hermite-Gaussian functions. The free space propagation of the resulting beam modes has been examined, and both near-and far-field patterns have been calculated and measured. Phase plates may be useful for enhancing the far-field intensity.
متن کاملObservation of Ince-Gaussian modes in stable resonators.
We report what is to our knowledge the first observation of Ince-Gaussian modes directly generated in a stable resonator. By slightly breaking the symmetry of the cavity of a diode-pumped Nd:YVO4 laser and its pump beam configuration we were able to generate single high-order Ince-Gaussian modes of high quality. The observed transverse modes have an inherent elliptic structure and exhibit remar...
متن کاملAiry wave packets accelerating in space-time
Although diffractive spreading is an unavoidable feature of all wave phenomena, certain waveforms can attain propagation-invariance. A lesser-explored strategy for achieving optical selfsimilar propagation exploits the modification of the spatio-temporal field structure when observed in reference frames moving at relativistic speeds. For such an observer, it is predicted that the associated Lor...
متن کاملGeneration of helical Ince-Gaussian beams with a liquid-crystal display.
We generate helical Ince-Gaussian (HIG) beams by using complex amplitude and phase masks encoded onto a liquid-crystal display (LCD). These beams display an intensity pattern consisting of elliptic rings, whose number and ellipticity can be controlled, and a phase exhibiting a number of in-line vortices, each with a unitary topological charge. We show experimental results that display the prope...
متن کاملInce-Gaussian beams in a quadratic-index medium.
The propagation of Ince-Gaussian beams in media where the refractive index varies quadratically with the distance from the optical axis is studied. Explicit expressions for the complex beam parameter and the longitudinal phase shift are derived and discussed. Ince-Gaussian eigenmodes with constant width can be obtained by satisfying a relation between the beam width and the quadratic-medium coe...
