Focusing properties of a polarization mixing quadratic space-variant phase-modulated sinh-Gaussian vortex beam
Abstract:
This research explores the focusing characteristics of a polarization mixing quadratic space-variant phase-modulated sinh-Gaussian vortex beam. Various intriguing evolutionary trends of the focal pattern are demonstrated by the modulation of each parameter. The results show that the adjustable parameter C makes the focusing spot form an optical chain structure. The length of the structure and the number of dark optical traps in the structure can be altered by adjusting C. Simultaneously, the variation of beam order m will cause focal spot deformation. Moreover, the variation of the focal pattern indicates that polarization parameter B has the ability to adjust the position of the spot. In addition, the influence of topological charge l on the component field is also discussed. With the introduction of a polarization mixing quadratic space-variant phase, the focal pattern obtains a series of unique characteristics. These results have potential value for cutting-edge optical applications such as optical shaping, optical transmission, and multiple optical capture.
