A new method synthesizes arbitrary on-axis intensity distributions using axially symmetric fields. This creates a pseudo-nondiffracting axially symmetric on-axis flat-top beam (AFTB) with controllable parameters.

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Beam Propagation
  • Mathematical Physics

Background:

  • Generating controlled on-axis intensity profiles is crucial for applications like optical trapping and material processing.
  • Axially symmetric fields are fundamental in many optical systems, but precise control over their on-axis intensity remains challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a general synthesis method for arbitrary on-axis intensity distributions from axially symmetric fields.
  • To introduce and characterize a novel pseudo-nondiffracting beam: the axially symmetric on-axis flat-top beam (AFTB).

Main Methods:

  • The study employs the paraxial approximation to develop an integral transform-based synthesis method.
  • The axially symmetric on-axis flat-top beam (AFTB) is defined and analyzed using parameters: central spatial frequency S(c), flat-top length L, and central position z(c).

Main Results:

  • A new pseudo-nondiffracting beam, the AFTB, is derived, capable of producing nearly flat-top intensity distributions on the propagation axis when LS(c) >> 1.
  • The AFTB approximates the nondiffracting zero-order Bessel J0 beam as L approaches infinity.
  • Superposition of multiple AFTB fields can generate multiple on-axis flat-top intensity regions under specific conditions.

Conclusions:

  • The developed synthesis method offers precise control over on-axis intensity profiles for axially symmetric fields.
  • The AFTB presents a versatile tool for applications requiring stable, flat-top intensity distributions.
  • The ability to create multiple flat-top regions through superposition expands the potential applications of AFTBs.
