Generalized Hermite-Gauss decomposition of the two-photon state produced by spontaneous parametric down-conversion

open access: yes, 2012
We provide a general decomposition of the two-photon state produced by spontaneous parametric down-conversion in Hermite-Gaussian modes, in the case that the pump beam is described by a Hermite-Gaussian beam of any order.

Influence of Novel Beam Shapes on Laser-Based Processing of High-Strength Aluminium Alloys on the Basis of EN AW-5083 Single Weld Tracks

open access: yesJournal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing, 2023
The commonly used Gaussian intensity distribution during the laser-based processing of metals can negatively affect melt pool stability, which might lead to defects such as porosity, hot cracking, or poor surface quality.

Non-diffracting Optical Beams in a Three-level Raman System

open access: yes, 2011
Diffractionless propagation of optical beams through atomic vapors is investigated. The atoms in the vapor are operated in a three-level Raman configuration.

Effect of a thin optical Kerr medium on a Laguerre-Gaussian beam

open access: yes, 2007
Using a generalized Gaussian beam decomposition method we determine the propagation of a Laguerre-Gaussian beam that has passed through a thin nonlinear optical Kerr medium.

Nonlinear unbalanced Bessel beams in the collapse of Gaussian beams arrested by nonlinear losses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Collapse of a Gaussian beam in self-focusing Kerr media arrested by nonlinear losses may lead to the spontaneous formation of a quasi-stationary nonlinear unbalanced Bessel beam with finite energy, which can propagate without significant distortion over ...

Spin to orbital angular momentum transfer in frequency up-conversion

open access: yesNanophotonics, 2021
We demonstrate the spin to orbital angular momentum transfer in frequency upconversion with structured light beams. A vector vortex is coupled to a circularly polarized Gaussian beam in noncollinear second harmonic generation under type-II phase match ...

Optical limiting using Laguerre-Gaussian beams

open access: yes, 2007
We demonstrate optical limiting using the self-lensing effect of a higher-order Laguerre-Gaussian beam in a thin dye-doped polymer sample, which we find is consistent with our model using Gaussian decomposition.

Optical realization of nonlinear quantum dynamics

open access: yes, 2014
In a cavity filled with a Kerr medium it is possible to generate the superposition of coherent states, i.e. Schroodinger cat states may be realized in this system.

All-optical mode conversion via spatially multimode four-wave mixing

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2016
We experimentally demonstrate the conversion of a Gaussian beam to an approximate Bessel–Gauss mode by making use of a non-collinear four-wave mixing (4WM) process in hot atomic vapor.

Integral transformation solution of free-space cylindrical vector beams and prediction of modified-Bessel-Gaussian vector beams

open access: yes, 2007
A unified description of the free-space cylindrical vector beams is presented, which is an integral transformation solution to the vector Helmholtz equation and the transversality condition.
