Quality deterioration of self-phase modulated Gaussian beams
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The beam quality parameter Mx for self-phase modulated Gaussian and super-Gaussian beams has been calculated analytically. These results can be used for experimental measurements of nonlinearities in optical materials. A super-Gaussian beam with a size comparable to a Gaussian one demonstrates much more stable behavior with propagation through Kerr media. The deteriorated beam quality parameter has also been calculated analytically in the case of higher order localized radial phase modes. The presented analysis of beam quality degradation due to localized phase aberrations is more efficient than the standard one based on polynomial aperture aberrations.

Mode-Division-Multiplexing of Multiple Bessel-Gaussian Beams Carrying Orbital-Angular-Momentum for Obstruction-Tolerant Free-Space Optical and Millimetre-Wave Communication Links
We experimentally investigate the potential of using 'self-healing' Bessel-Gaussian beams carrying orbital-angular-momentum to overcome limitations in obstructed free-space optical and 28-GHz millimetre-wave communication links. We multiplex and transmit two beams (l = +1 and +3) over 1.4 metres in both the optical and millimetre-wave domains. Each optical beam carried 50-Gbaud quadrature-phase...
متن کاملA line scanned light-sheet microscope with phase shaped self-reconstructing beams.
We recently demonstrated that Microscopy with Self-Reconstructing Beams (MISERB) increases both image quality and penetration depth of illumination beams in strongly scattering media. Based on the concept of line scanned light-sheet microscopy, we present an add-on module to a standard inverted microscope using a scanned beam that is shaped in phase and amplitude by a spatial light modulator. W...

Background: This study evaluated whether IMRT using fewer beams and segments could reduce delivery time without compromising plan quality in gastric cancer adjuvant radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Fifteen patients with advanced gastric cancer who underwent D2, R0 surgery were included in this study. IMRT plans for each patient were designed as 7 equal beams with 40 segments, 5 beams with 2...
متن کاملWhite-light generation using spatially-structured beams of femtosecond radiation.
We studied white-light generation in water using spatially- structured beams of femtosecond radiation. By changing the transverse spatial phase of an initial Gaussian beam with a 1D spatial light modulator to that of an Hermite-Gaussian (HGn,m) mode, we were able to generate beams exhibiting phase discontinuities and steeper intensity gradients. When the spatial phase of an initial Gaussian bea...
متن کاملTailoring of arbitrary optical vector beams
We present a robust interferometric method to generate arbitrary vector beam modes by diffracting a Gaussian laser beam from a spatial light modulator consisting of a high-resolution reflective nematic liquid crystal display. Vector beams may have the same intensity cross-section as the more common scalar Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) or Hermite–Gaussian (HG) beams, but with a spatially modulated pola...
