Direct detection of near-infrared fractional vortex beam
We report a scheme for direct detection of fractional orbital angular momentum (FOAM) of near-infrared optical beams. By using a designed nonlinear Dammann fractional vortex grating (NDFVG), near-infrared fractional optical vortex could be converted to a multi-channel visible pattern with similar intensities, and the range of FOAM could be read on the basis of the intensity profiles of diffracted beams. A fast method is summarized, which only requires observation at most three points. The detection accuracy of FOAM is 0.1, and it can be optimized by tuning the grating structure. The designed NDFVG is fabricated in a LiNbO3 crystal, and the detection process is demonstrated with incident FOAM of 0.1 as an example. This method may meet the wide requirements of near-infrared optical vortex detection in optical operation, imaging, and integrated optical communication systems.
期刊介绍:
The Journal covers the entire field of infrared physics and technology: theory, experiment, application, devices and instrumentation. Infrared'' is defined as covering the near, mid and far infrared (terahertz) regions from 0.75um (750nm) to 1mm (300GHz.) Submissions in the 300GHz to 100GHz region may be accepted at the editors discretion if their content is relevant to shorter wavelengths. Submissions must be primarily concerned with and directly relevant to this spectral region.
Its core topics can be summarized as the generation, propagation and detection, of infrared radiation; the associated optics, materials and devices; and its use in all fields of science, industry, engineering and medicine.
Infrared techniques occur in many different fields, notably spectroscopy and interferometry; material characterization and processing; atmospheric physics, astronomy and space research. Scientific aspects include lasers, quantum optics, quantum electronics, image processing and semiconductor physics. Some important applications are medical diagnostics and treatment, industrial inspection and environmental monitoring.
