Propagation and control of noncanonical optical vortices.

چکیده
We predict new features for the evolution of noncanonical screw wave-front dislocations nested in diffracting light beams. The evolution equations for the location of single-charge dislocations are derived, and their consequences are elaborated by use of illustrative examples. It is shown that the dynamic trajectories of the vortices can be controlled by adjustment of the noncanonical strength of the input dislocations.

Propagation dynamics of optical vortices
Optical vortices in linear and nonlinear media may exhibit propagation dynamics similar to hydrodynamic vortex phenomena. Analytical and numerical methods are used to describe and investigate the interaction between vortices and the background field. We demonstrate that optical vortices that have quasi-point core functions, such as optical vortex solitons, may orbit one another at rates that ar...
متن کاملOptical Vortex Filaments
This chapter examines the vortex core size and how it affects the propagation dynamics of neighboring optical vortices in the same beam. When the core is small compared to the distance between neighboring vortices, the vortices may be called vortex filaments. Such vortices have been found to exhibit unusual propagation dynamics such as rapid fluid-like vortex-vortex “effective interactions” [1,...
متن کاملPropagation of a mutually incoherent optical vortex pair in anisotropic nonlinear media
We study propagation of a pair of oppositely charged and mutually incoherent vortices in anisotropic nonlinear optical media. Mutual interactions retard the delocalization of the vortex core observed for isolated vortices.
متن کاملOptical vortex trajectories in an astigmatic and elliptical Gaussian beam
An optical vortex, produced at one point in an optical beam, would propagate through an optical system to another point where the vortex can be used for some purpose. However, asymmetrical optical elements in such a system can cause astigmatism or at least distroy the rotational symmetry of the beam, which may affect the propagation of the vortex in an undesirable way. While an optical vortex i...
متن کاملGeneration and Propagation of High-order Bessel Vortices in Linear and Non-linear Crystals
Linear and nonlinear processes of transferring optical singularities from anisotropic crystals onto the wavefront of Bessel light beams (BLBs) are investigated. The generation of high-order vortices at the propagation of BLBs along the optical axes of crystals was studied. Particularly, a nonlinear frequency doubling of Bessel vortices in the conditions of new type synchronism (full conical pha...
