However, high-resolution measurement of their actual phase evolution remains a challenge. This study introduces a compact, improved single-element heterodyne interferometer designed for precise, direct measurement of the wavefront phase of FO-VBs in free space. Our setup successfully captured the intricate phase distribution within the radial dark region, revealing that it comprises a series of vortex–antivortex pairs with opposite topological charges. Theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that as the fractional part of the topological charge increases, the phase fluctuation region from a single pair expands. Upon approaching an integer charge, these pairs annihilate head-to-tail, culminating in a complete 2π phase jump and the formation of a new primary vortex. Concurrently, beam quality degrades from integer to half-integer order, reaching its minimum at the latter, which aligns with the variation trend of the phase distribution, demonstrating an intrinsic link between beam quality and phase structure. This robust interferometric method, with the capability for phase distribution reconstruction even under obstructed conditions, provides critical insights into the phase dynamics of FO-VBs and is anticipated to be a valuable tool for predicting beam quality evolution and interaction effects in complex media, such as atmospheric turbulence.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":474,"journal":{"name":"Applied Physics B","volume":"131 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145511145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Laser-induced fluorescence-based methods are widely employed due to their ability to selectively excite specific species and achieve high signal-to-noise ratios. However, these techniques are inherently susceptible to collisional quenching, which complicates signal quantification. Bi-directional laser-induced fluorescence (BD-LIF) was proposed decades ago as a promising approach to obtain absolute species concentrations while preserving spatial resolution. Despite its potential, initial measurements showed deviations of 50 – 60 % compared to equilibrium calculations and 1D simulations. We present a generalized quantification strategy for BD-LIF based on the general form of Beer’s law that explicitly accounts for wavenumber-dependent absorption and the resulting spatial evolution of the overlap between laser and absorption line, due to the stronger absorption near the line center. The method is demonstrated by measuring hydroxyl (OH) radicals following excitation in the A–X(1,0) system in the post-flame region of laminar CH<sub>4</sub>-air flames. The results show very good agreement with simulated OH concentrations, underscoring the robustness of the generalized approach and its potential for broader application in combustion diagnostics.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":474,"journal":{"name":"Applied Physics B","volume":"131 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00340-025-08560-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145511146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By introducing the Range Migration Algorithm (RMA) and Phase Shift Migration Algorithm (PSMA) into 3D imaging processing, with specialized calibration and adaptation for the ultra-wide bandwidth and poor amplitude flatness characteristics of pulsed terahertz signals, we systematically compare their performance with the conventional time-domain Back-Projection Algorithm (BPA) in terms of imaging quality and computational efficiency. Experimental results demonstrate that RMA and PSMA maintain high imaging quality (SNR ≥ 25 dB, MAE < 6.5 dB, SSIM between 0.72 and 0.90, lateral resolution of 0.3 mm, and range resolution of 0.08 mm) while reducing single-image reconstruction time from several hours to minutes-achieving computational efficiency of only 1–2% compared to Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) accelerated BPA.
