研究目的
Investigating the twisting behaviors of optical vortices and intensity patterns, and the transverse focal shift in a strongly focused, circularly polarized field with off-axis vortices.
研究成果
The research demonstrates that in a strongly focused, circularly polarized field with off-axis vortices, the vortices exhibit a double helical trajectory due to factors including same topological charge, interaction of spin and orbital angular momentum, and strong focusing. Intensity maxima rotate only a quarter circle, and transverse focal shift behaves differently from linearly polarized cases, with foci confined to specific axes. These findings enhance understanding of angular momentum interactions and have potential applications in optical manipulation.
研究不足
The study is theoretical and computational, relying on numerical solutions without experimental validation. It assumes specific conditions like aplanatic focusing systems and Gaussian beams, which may not capture all real-world complexities. The analysis is limited to circular polarization and specific vortex configurations, and the strong focusing effect requires high numerical apertures that might be challenging to achieve practically.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses the Richards-Wolf vectorial diffraction theory to model and analyze the optical field in the focal region of a high numerical aperture focusing system. Numerical methods are employed to solve the derived equations for field components.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The incident field is a circularly polarized Gaussian beam with two off-axis vortices of specific topological charges, simulated computationally without physical samples.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
No specific equipment or materials are mentioned; the work is theoretical and computational.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The process involves deriving expressions for electric field components using vectorial theory, setting parameters (e.g., semi-aperture angle α, focal length f, beam waist ω0, off-axis distance a0), and numerically computing field distributions, vortex trajectories, intensity patterns, and transverse focal shifts.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Analysis includes plotting phase contours, intensity distributions, and positions of vortices and intensity maxima using numerical integration and visualization techniques.
