Abstract
The article investigated conditions for shaping astigmatic-invariant structured Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beams in the case of simple astigmatism. We have theoretically and experimentally confirmed that the conditions of astigmatic invariance are that the q-phase parameter of the structured LG (sLG) beam is equal to the arctangent of the ratio of the Rayleigh length z0 to the focal length fcyl of a cylindrical lens for a single amplitude parameter of epsilon;=1. For the rest amplitude parameter values, epsilon;NotEqual;1, the astigmatic invariance condition is set by the equality of the orbital angular momenta (OAM) of structured sLG and astigmatic-invariant sLG (asLG) beams. We have also found sharp spikes and dips of the OAM in astigmatic asLG beams in the region where OAM turns into zero. The height and depth of these spikes and dips significantly exceed the maximum and minimum OAM values in the conventional structured sLG beams. It has been shown that the occurrence of spikes and dips of the OAM is caused by a radical restructuring of the LG mode spectra in the form of their strong ordering. Theoretical calculations, accompanied by a computer simulation, and an experiment agree well with each other.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
