Abstract
Fresnel diffraction on double fork-shaped gratings is studied. The trajectories of singularities are found to form two groups of nested spirals, with one originating from each dislocation. The number of spirals nested in each group is found to be equal to the topological charge of the dislocation from which it originates. The influence of the initial distance between dislocations on the trajectories of singularities is examined in detail, and the distinctive characteristics of this dependence are highlighted. The trajectory of the displacement of centroids of singularities from one group of nested spirals during the propagation for various topological charges is investigated. The results demonstrate that the higher the topological of the second dislocation is, the faster the centroid from the first dislocation will shift along the axis during the propagation. This finding indicates that the trajectory of singularities displacement is not defined by the singularity itself, but rather by the background field, which correlates well with the hydrodynamic approach.
期刊介绍:
Annalen der Physik (AdP) is one of the world''s most renowned physics journals with an over 225 years'' tradition of excellence. Based on the fame of seminal papers by Einstein, Planck and many others, the journal is now tuned towards today''s most exciting findings including the annual Nobel Lectures. AdP comprises all areas of physics, with particular emphasis on important, significant and highly relevant results. Topics range from fundamental research to forefront applications including dynamic and interdisciplinary fields. The journal covers theory, simulation and experiment, e.g., but not exclusively, in condensed matter, quantum physics, photonics, materials physics, high energy, gravitation and astrophysics. It welcomes Rapid Research Letters, Original Papers, Review and Feature Articles.
