Beam quality measure for vector beams

open access: yesOptics Letters, 2016
Vector beams have found a myriad of applications, from laser materials processing to microscopy, and are now easily produced in the laboratory. They are usually differentiated from scalar beams by qualitative measures, for example, visual inspection of beam profiles after a rotating polarizer.

Vector Helmholtz–Gauss and vector Laplace–Gauss beams

Optics Letters, 2005
We demonstrate the existence of vector Helmholtz-Gauss (vHzG) and vector Laplace-Gauss beams that constitute two general families of localized vector beam solutions of the Maxwell equations in the paraxial approximation. The electromagnetic components are determined starting from the scalar solutions of the two-dimensional Helmholtz and Laplace ...

Helico-conical vector beams

Optics Letters, 2023
In this work, we propose and demonstrate experimentally a new family of vector beams, the helico-conical vector beams (HCVBs), whose spatial degree of freedom is encoded in the helico-conical optical beams. We use Stokes polarimetry to study their properties and find that upon propagation their transverse ...

The vector Durnin–Whitney beam

Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 2020
We show that ( E , H ) = ( E 0 , H 0 ) e i [ k 0 S ( r ) − ω t ] is an exact solution to the Maxwell

Non-coaxial superposition of vector vortex beams

open access: yesApplied Optics, 2016
Vector vortex beams are classified into four types depending upon spatial variation in their polarization vector.We have generated all four of these types of vector vortex beams by using a modified polarization Sagnac interferometer with a vortex lens ...

Vector Lissajous laser beams

Optics Letters, 2020
We consider a new type of vector beam, the vector Lissajous beams (VLB), which is of double order ( p , q ) and a generalization of cylindrical vector beams characterized by single-order p . The transverse components of VLBs have an angular relationship corresponding to Lissajous curves.

Terahertz vector beams

2008 33rd International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter and Terahertz Waves, 2008
We present a concept for the design of photoconductive antennas which allows the generation and detection of terahertz radiation pulses of freely selectable modes. We demonstrate the principle by showing electric field distributions for vector beams, namely the lowest order Gaussian-Bessel beams. They have a donut-like intensity distribution and either

Poynting vector and beam divergence

Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 2020
Laser beam divergence was considered using the components of the Poynting vector. A physical interpretation of the real and imaginary parts of the “longitudinal” field component (along the z axis, the direction of beam propagation) is given in an exponential representation.

Cylindrical vector beam transformations and hybrid vector beams

Frontiers in Optics 2010/Laser Science XXVI, 2010
Transformations of the spin and orbital parts of cylindrical vector beams through conventional optical elements is analyzed with Jones calculus and experimentally measured by Stokes polarimetry. Generation of unique hybrid vector beams is discussed.

On-demand tailored vector beams

Applied Optics, 2017
We introduce an effective optical system to produce optical beams with arbitrary, inhomogeneous polarization states. Using our system, we are capable of generating vector beams with discretionarily chosen transverse complex fields in a straightforward way.
