Design of broadband terahertz vector and vortex beams: I. Review of materials and components

open access: yesLight: Advanced Manufacturing, 2022
In this paper, we review the existing approaches for vortex and vector beam shaping and generation in the terahertz frequency range. The particular focus of this review is on the possibility of homogeneous topological charge formation in the ultra-wide ...

Polarization shaping for control of nonlinear propagation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We study the nonlinear optical propagation of two different classes of space-varying polarized light beams -- radially symmetric vector beams and Poincar\'e beams with lemon and star topologies -- in a rubidium vapour cell.

Exponential beams of electromagnetic radiation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We show that in addition to well known Bessel, Hermite-Gauss, and Laguerre-Gauss beams of electromagnetic radiation, one may also construct exponential beams.

Focal shift in vector beams

open access: yesOptics Express, 1999
We examine the three-dimensional intensity distribution of vector Bessel-Gauss beams with general polarization near the focus of a nonaperturing thin lens. Recently reported linearly and azimuthally polarized Bessel-Gauss beams are members of this family.

Vector Optical Beam with Controllable Variation of Polarization during Propagation in Free Space: A Review

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
The vector optical beam with longitudinally varying polarization during propagation in free space has attracted significant attention in recent years. Compared with traditional vector optical beams with inhomogeneous distribution of polarization in the ...

Generation of Perfect Cylindrical Vector Beams With Complete Control Over the Ring Width and Ring Diameter

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2018
We propose the generation of high-purity perfect cylindrical vector beams (PCVB) using the Fourier transformation of Bessel–Gauss vector beams.

Focusing fractional-order cylindrical vector beams

open access: yesКомпьютерная оптика, 2021
By numerically simulating the sharp focusing of fractional-order vector beams (0≤m≤1, with azimuthal polarization at m=1 and linear polarization at m=0), it is shown that the shape of the intensity distribution in the focal spot changes from elliptical ...

Radially and azimuthally polarized non paraxial Bessel beams made simple

open access: yes, 2013
We present a method for the realization of radially and azimuthally polarized nonparaxial Bessel beams in a rigorous but simple manner. This result is achieved by using the concept of Hertz vector potential to generate exact vector solutions of Maxwell's

Exact nonparaxial beams of the scalar Helmholtz equation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
It is shown that three-dimensional nonparaxial beams are described by the oblate spheroidal exact solutions of the Helmholtz equation. For the first time, their beam behaviour is investigated and their corresponding parameters are defined. Using the fact
