Elliptically Symmetric Polarized Beams

چکیده
We study the free-propagation features of an optical field endowed with a non-uniform polarization pattern with elliptical symmetry. The fields derived in this way are called Elliptically Symmetric Polarized Beams (ESPB for short). Some properties of these fields are analysed. Moreover, it is shown how it is possible to obtain such light beams by applying the results to Bessel-Gauss beams.

Optical forces and torques in nonuniform beams of light.
The spin angular momentum in an elliptically polarized beam of light plays several noteworthy roles in optical traps. It contributes to the linear momentum density in a nonuniform beam, and thus to the radiation pressure exerted on illuminated objects. It can be converted into orbital angular momentum, and thus can exert torques even on optically isotropic objects. Its curl, moreover, contribut...
متن کاملEffect of Elliptically Polarized Light on the Angular Distribution of Photoelectrons
The angular distribution of photoelectrons predicted for elliptically polarized light is shown to be the same as that predicted for partially polarized light having incoherent perpendicular electric field components equal to the electric field components along the major and minor axes of the ellipse. Increasing use by atomic experimenters of synchrotron radiation, which is known to be elliptica...
متن کاملGeneration and Proof of Elliptically Polarized X-Rays
Using an arrangement being analogous to optics of visible light the phase relation of the mutually perpendicularly polarized wave fields are examined in the Laue case of X-ray diffraction. Bragg reflections at an angle of reflection of about 45° are used as polarizer and analyzer. The different phase relations result from different thicknesses of a wedge-shaped silicon crystal, which is placed ...
متن کاملFloquet edge states in germanene nanoribbons
We theoretically demonstrate versatile electronic properties of germanene monolayers under circularly, linearly, and elliptically polarized light. We show for the high frequency regime that the edge states can be controlled by tuning the amplitude of the light and by applying a static electric field. For circularly polarized light the band gap in one valley is reduced and in the other enhanced,...
متن کاملEffect of vector asymmetry of radially polarized beams in solid immersion microscopy.
We theoretically and experimentally investigate the effect of imperfect vector symmetry on radially polarized beams focused by an aplanatic solid immersion lens at a numerical aperture of 3.3. We experimentally achieve circularly symmetric focused spot with a full-width-half-maximum of ~λ0/5.7 at λ0 = 1,310 nm, free-space wavelength. The tight spatial confinement and overall circular symmetry o...
