Spiral-type beams: optical and quantum aspects
نویسنده
چکیده
The existence of spiral-type beams with a predetermined intensity distribution is investigated by theoretical and experimental means. Spiral-type beams with an intensity distribution in the form of an arbitrary planar line were found. A correspondence between these laser beams and a specific quantum-mechanical situation ground states of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field was found. The connection between spiral-type beams and coherent states is shown. Some methods of spiral-type beam synthesis are described. Experimental results of transformation of a gaussian beam into a triangle-line laser beam are presented.

The final major question we shall address this semester is the following. How can we create non-classical light beams that exhibit the signatures we’ve discussed in our simple one-mode and two-mode analyses? In particular, we will study spontaneous parametric downconversion and optical parametric amplification in secondorder nonlinear crystals. These closely-related processes have been and cont...

متن کاملLight-induced spiral mass transport in azo-polymer films under vortex-beam illumination
When an azobenzene-containing polymer film is exposed to non-uniform illumination, a light-induced mass migration process may be induced, leading to the formation of relief patterns on the polymer-free surface. Despite many years of research effort, several aspects of this phenomenon remain poorly understood. Here we report the appearance of spiral-shaped relief patterns on the polymer film und...
متن کاملObservation of ultra-low-light-level all-optical switching
Photonic circuits require elements that can control optical signals with other optical signals. Ultra-low-light-level operation of all-optical switches opens the possibility of photonic devices that operate in the single-quantum regime, a prerequisite for quantum-photonic devices. We describe a new type of all-optical switch that exploits the extreme sensitivity to small perturbations displayed...
متن کاملStructural and optical properties of n- type porous silicon– effect of etching time
Porous silicon layers have been prepared from n-type silicon wafers of (100) orientation. SEM, FTIR and PL have been used to characterize the morphological and optical properties of porous silicon. The influence of varying etching time in the anodizing solution, on structural and optical properties of porous silicon has been investigated. It is observed that pore size increases with etching tim...
