چکیده
A very general beam solution of the paraxial wave equation in circular cylindrical coordinates is presented. We call such a field a circular beam (CiB). The complex amplitude of the CiB is described by either the Whittaker functions or the confluent hypergeometric functions and is characterized by three parameters that are complex in the most general situation. The propagation through complex ABCD optical systems and the conditions for square integrability are studied in detail. Special cases of the CiB are the standard, elegant, and generalized Laguerre-Gauss beams; Bessel-Gauss beams; hypergeometric beams; hypergeometric-Gaussian beams; fractional-order elegant Laguerre-Gauss beams; quadratic Bessel-Gauss beams; and optical vortex beams.

Comparison of measured and Monte Carlo calculated dose distributions from “circular collimators” for radiosurgical beams
Background: Stereotactic radiosurgery is an important clinical tool for the treatment of small lesions in the brain, including benign conditions, malignant and localized metastatic tumors. A dosimetry study was performed for Elekta ‘Synergy S ’ as a dedicated Stereotactic radiosurgery unit, capable of generating circular radiation fields with diameters of 1-5 cm at isocentre using the BEAM/EGS4...
متن کاملTheoretical Investigation of Propagation Characteristics of Hypergeometric-Gaussian Beams Type-II Through an ABCD Optical System with an Annular Aperture
In the framework of the paraxial approximation, the analytical expression of a family of Hypergeometric-Gaussian beams type-II passing through a paraxial ABCD optical system with a circular annular aperture is derived by means the expansion of the hard aperture function into a finite sum of complex Gaussian functions and using the generalized Huygens-Fresnel diffraction integral. Based on the o...
متن کاملNonparaxial Mathieu and Weber accelerating beams.
We demonstrate both theoretically and experimentally nonparaxial Mathieu and Weber accelerating beams, generalizing the concept of previously found accelerating beams. We show that such beams bend into large angles along circular, elliptical, or parabolic trajectories but still retain nondiffracting and self-healing capabilities. The circular nonparaxial accelerating beams can be considered as ...
متن کاملAtomic-resolution Imaging Using Cs-corrected Vortex Beams
Phase gratings have been shown to produce electron beams with orbital angular momentum as demonstrated by numerous groups, and show promise for electron magnetic circular dichroism (EMCD) at the atomic scale [1, 2]. A linear diffraction grating will produce diffracted beams with a separation determined by the pitch or spacing between grating lines. A grating with a central line that forks into ...
متن کاملLight Refraction by a Cholesteric Prism
Light propagation in a cholesteric medium has been completely discussed by de Vries [2]. The main results are that, for a given frequency, there are two eigenvibrations with quasi-circular polarizations, except i) for high frequencies and ii) near the reflection band (for the vibration having total reflection), where the polarization is linear. Looking at light refracted by a cholesteric prism,...
