Multi-beams engineered to increase patterns of vortex lattices by employing zero lines of the coherent
Abstract:
The number of zero lines of the real and imaginary parts of the optical vortex (OV), both are the same as the topological charge (TC), and all of these lines intersect at one point where the phase singularity is. Furthermore, zero crossings distribute regularly on the transverse plane of the OV lattice. Zero lines of the real and imaginary parts of the non-diffracting fields without OV that generated by multi-waves interference are periodic but coincident. We stack two groups of these kind of zero lines which can be regarded as a set of zero lines of the real part and a set of zero lines of the imaginary part respectively, to satisfy the cross state of zero lines of an OV lattice. Then two groups of multi-waves corresponding to the two fields can be obtained. The expected OV lattice that generated by the two groups of engineered waves interference together is validated through both numerical simulations and experiments.

X-ray Diffraction
X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a technique used in materials science for determining the atomic and molecular structure of a material. This is done by irradiating a sample of the material with incident X-rays and then measuring the intensities and scattering angles of the X-rays that are scattered by the material. The intensity of the scattered X-rays are plotted as a function of the...
Interference and Diffraction
Interference and Diffraction
Interference and diffraction are characteristic phenomena of waves, ranging from water waves to electromagnetic waves such as light. Interference refers to the phenomenon of when two waves of the same kind overlap to give an alternating spatial variation of large and small wave amplitude. Diffraction refers to the phenomenon of when a wave passes through an aperture or...
