Partially coherent stable and spiral beams.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stable and spiral coherent beams, which do not change the form of their intensity distribution apart from possible scaling and rotation during propagation and therefore possess self-healing properties, are widely applied in science and technology. On the other hand, it has been found that partially coherent light often provides better output than coherent light. Here we consider two methods for the design and experimental generation of partially coherent stable and spiral beams.

Cross-correlation between spiral modesand its influence on the overall spatial characteristics of partially coherent beams.
The overall spatial structure of a general partially coherent field is shown to be connected with the cross-correlation between the so-called spiral modes, understood as the terms of the spiral-harmonics series expansion of the field. The formalism based on the beam irradiance-moments is used, and the light field is globally described by the beam width, the far-field divergence, the beam qualit...
متن کاملSpiral-type beams: optical and quantum aspects
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. ...
متن کاملGeneration of adjustable partially coherent bottle beams by use of an axicon-lens system.
We report, what is to our knowledge, the first experimental realization of partially coherent bottle beams. It is shown that partially coherent bottle beams can be achieved by the focusing of partially coherent light with an axicon-lens system. The influence of the spatial coherence of the incident partially coherent light and other parameters, such as the radius of the limiting aperture of the...
متن کاملTransformation and spectrum properties of partially coherent beams in the fractional Fourier transform plane.
An analytical and concise formula is derived for the fractional Fourier transform (FRT) of partially coherent beams that is based on the tensorial propagation formula of the cross-spectral density of partially coherent twisted anisotropic Gaussian-Schell-model (GSM) beams. The corresponding tensor ABCD law performing the FRT is obtained. The connections between the FRT formula and the generaliz...
متن کاملSpreading of partially coherent beams in random media.
Some published computational work has suggested that partially coherent beams may be less susceptible to distortions caused by propagation through random media than fully coherent beams. In this paper this suggestion is studied quantitatively by examining the mean squared width of partially coherent beams in such media as a function of the propagation distance. The analysis indicates under what...
