Propagation of Airy-Hermite-Gaussian waveguide modes in free space.

چکیده
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.

Direct current-excited cw CO(2) metal waveguide laser.
A novel design for a dc-excited cw CO(2) metal waveguide laser has been developed in which a slotted hollow cathode also doubles as a metal waveguide for the cavity modes. This design has been implemented in a compact structure that produces over 1 W of cw 10.6-microm radiation. The discharge characteristics, laser gain, and laser output have been studied as functions of various discharge param...
متن کاملRecurring beams in hollow metal waveguides: paraxial approximation.
For optical and near-optical applications in electromagnetics, the directed propagation of waves in free space and in lenslike media is often in the Cartesian form of Gaussian or more general Hermite-sinusoidal-Gaussian beams. It has been shown that recurring (rather than continuing) forms of such beams are possible in the paraxial approximation for certain hollow metal waveguides, in which mul...
متن کاملThe polarization preservation of partially coherent Hermite-Gaussian beams for multiple-degrees-of-freedom free-space communication
Multiple-degrees-of-freedom free-space communication combining polarization and high-order spatial modes promises high-capacity communication channel. While high-order spatial modes have been widely exploited for dense coding and high-dimensional quantum information processing, the properties of polarization preservation of high-order spatial beams propagating in turbulent atmosphere have not b...
متن کاملPropagation law for the generating function of Hermite-Gaussian-type modes in first-order optical systems.
Based on the common Hermite-Gaussian modes, a general class of orthonormal Hermite-Gaussian-type modes is introduced. Such modes can most easily be defined by means of their generating function. It is shown that these modes remain in their class of orthonormal Hermite-Gaussiantype modes, when they propagate through first-order optical systems. A propagation law for the generating function is fo...
متن کاملDiffraction-free mode generation and propagation in optical waveguides
Propagation within optical waveguides is re-examined in terms of diffraction-free propagation. The concept of the general diffraction-free mode is introduced. It is suggested that the optimised photonic bandgap waveguide must generate such a mode for loss-free propagation to be achieved. The invention of the ‘‘Fresnel’’ waveguide is described. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. Whe...
