For single-mode pump waves with equal mode numbers, the dependences of the time response width on the waveguide length, the intensity of the first pump waves, and the mode number in the mode expansion of the object wave amplitude are obtained for the four-wave converter. The greatest contribution to the object wave amplitude is shown to be from the waveguide mode whose number coincides with the mode number of single-mode pump waves. For the stationary model, taking into account the spatial structure of the Gaussian pump wave leads to a monotonous decrease with a decrease in the pump beam width, followed by a constant value of the PSF module width. With single-mode pump waves with equal mode numbers, An increase in the mode number of the pump waves leads to a redistribution of energy concentrated in the side maxima of the point signal image and improvement in the quality of the wavefront reversal for a model with single-mode pump waves with equal mode numbers.","PeriodicalId":46692,"journal":{"name":"Computer Optics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89179680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This allows obtaining an explicit expression for the complex amplitude of the dLG beams in the Fresnel diffraction zone. Generally, such beams do not retain their structure, changing shape upon free-space propagation. However, if both LG beams are of the same order, we obtain a special case of a \"squared\" LG beam, which is Fourier-invariant. Another special case of the dLG beams is obtained when the azimuthal indices of the Laguerre polynomials are equal to n – m and n + m. For such a beam, an explicit expression is obtained for the complex amplitude in the Fourier plane. We show that if the lower indices of the constituent LG beams are the same, such a double LG beam is also Fourier-invariant. Similar to conventional LG beams, the product of LG beams can be used for optical data transmission, since they are characterized by azimuthal orthogonality and carry an orbital angular momentum equal to the topological charge.","PeriodicalId":46692,"journal":{"name":"Computer Optics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78349312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is not difficult to see if we decompose the complex amplitude of the LG beam in terms of Hermite–Gauss modes (HG), with the total number of HG modes being equal to N = 2n +𝓁 + 1. If we now slightly change the amplitudes and phases of each HG mode, then the structure of the LG beam radically changes. Such a combination of modes is called a structured LG beam (sLG), which can carry large additional arrays of information embedded in the sLG beam by encoding the amplitudes and phases of the HG modes (excitation of modes). But as soon as a perturbation is inserted into the LG beam, its orbital angular momentum (OAM) can change dramatically in such a way that the value of the OAM changes in the interval (–𝓁, 𝓁), and the total TC – in the interval (–2n – 𝓁, 2n + 𝓁). At n = 0, the OAM changes smoothly in the interval (–𝓁, 𝓁), however it is worth \"turning on\" the radial number n, as the OAM oscillations occur. The number of minima (maxima) of the oscillations is equal to the radial number n in the interval θ = (0, π) and θ = (π, 2π), with their amplitude nonlinearly depending on the difference 𝓁 – n, except for the point θ = π, where the structured beam becomes degenerate. If 𝓁 = 0, then the OAM is zero, so that in the sLG beam structure, we observe either a symmetrical array of vortices with opposite-sign TCs or a pattern of edge dislocations, the number of which is equal to the radial number n. We also found that, despite the fast oscillations of the OAM, the absolute value of the total TC of the sLG beam does not change with variation of both the amplitude ε and phase θ parameters, but depends solely on the initial state (n, 𝓁) of the LG beam and modulo (2n + 𝓁).","PeriodicalId":46692,"journal":{"name":"Computer Optics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74939813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For all superpositions analyzed, a topological charge (TC) is derived. In the initial plane, the TC can be either integer or half-integer, acquiring an integer value upon free-space propagation of the light field. Generally, the geometric sequence of optical vortices (GSOV) has three integer parameters and one real parameter. Values of these four parameters define the TC of the GSOV. Upon free-space propagation, the intensity pattern of the GSOV is not conserved, but can have intensity petals whose number is equal to one of the four beam parameters. If the GSOV has a unit real parameter, all constituent angular harmonics in the superposition have the same weight. In this case, the TC of the superposition is equal to the average index of the constituent angular harmonics. For instance, if the TC of the first and of the last angular harmonics, respectively, equals k and n, then the total TC of the superposition in the initial plane will be (n + k) /2, becoming equal to n upon free-space propagation.","PeriodicalId":46692,"journal":{"name":"Computer Optics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90892660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
