Tight Focusing of Optical Beams ; A Review - Part 1 RAKESH
Complex amplitude and polarization distribution of an optical beam plays a dominant role in shaping the focused structure of the beam. It is therefore possible to engineer the focal spot using the pupil function manipulation. Helical phase structure arising due to phase singularity in the wave front plays an important role in shaping the focal spot. Tight focusing of an optical beam produces in...
متن کاملResonant focusing in a planar microcavity
We study the focusing of a Gaussian laser beam in a microscopic planar cavity when the laser wavelength is resonant in the cavity but the beam divergence is larger than the acceptance angle of the cavity. Using the luminescence of implanted praseodymium ions as a microscopic probe for the total electric field inside the spacer of the microresonator, we investigate theoretically and experimental...
متن کاملFocusing dynamics of high-energy density, laser-driven ion beams.
The dynamics of the focusing of laser-driven ion beams produced from concave solid targets was studied. Most of the ion beam energy is observed to converge at the center of the cylindrical targets with a spot diameter of 30 μm, which can be very beneficial for applications requiring high beam energy densities. Also, unbalanced laser irradiation does not compromise the focusability of the beam....
متن کاملVacuum self-focusing of very intense laser beams
We argue that long-range photon-photon attraction induced by the dipole interaction of two electron-positron loops can lead to "vacuum self-focusing" of very intense laser beams. The focusing angle Î ̧F is found to increase with the beam intensity I as Î ̧F âˆ1⁄4 I4/3; for the laser beams available at present or in the near future, Î ̧F 10-10 10-7.
متن کاملModeling the tight focusing of beams in absorbing media with Monte Carlo simulations.
A severe drawback to the scalar Monte Carlo (MC) method is the difficulty of introducing diffraction when simulating light propagation. This hinders, for instance, the accurate modeling of beams focused through microscope objectives, where the diffraction patterns in the focal plane are of great importance in various applications. Here, we propose to overcome this issue by means of a direct ext...
