Gaussian beam propagation in maritime atmospheric turbulence: long term beam spread and beam wander analysis
Laser beam propagation in maritime environment is particularly challenging, not only for scattering and absorption due to high humidity, but also for a different behavior of atmospheric turbulence with respect to terrestrial propagation. Recently, a new power spectrum for the fluctuations of the refractive index in the Earth’s atmosphere has been introduced to describe maritime atmospheric turb...
متن کاملQuasi-optical Beam Waveguide Analysis Using Gaussian Beam Expansion
For reflector antennas and mirrors with diameters < 50 ? Physical Optics (PO) and the Physical Theory of Diffraction (PTD) are very fast and accurate calculation methods for determining the scattered fields. In optics where the diameter of the mirrors >> 1000 ? ray tracing methods are sufficient means of determining the scattered fields. However, in the Quasi-optical range in between these wave...
متن کاملBeam shaping using Gaussian beam modes.
A beam shaping method is presented where a diffractive optical element (DOE) is designed by optimizing the complex mode coefficient weights of a set of Gaussian beam modes. This method is compared with the more standard unidirectional approach. Differential evolution is used for the optimization in both the unidirectional and Gaussian beam mode optimization methods. For the particular transform...
متن کاملAngular momentum of a strongly focused Gaussian beam
A circularly polarized paraxial Gaussian laser beam carries ±h̄ angular momentum per photon as spin, with zero orbital angular momentum. Focusing the beam with a rotationally symmetric lens cannot change this angular momentum flux, yet the focused beam must have spin |Sz | < h̄ per photon. The remainder of the original spin is converted to orbital angular momentum, manifesting itself as a longitu...
