Design of Prismatic Beams for Bending

188
The design of prismatic beams, structural elements with a uniform cross-section, focuses on ensuring safety and structural integrity under load. The design process begins by determining the allowable stress, either from material properties tables, or by dividing the material's ultimate strength by a safety factor. This safety factor is essential for accommodating uncertainties, and varies depending on the material—timber, steel, or concrete—with each having unique strength and...

    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Additive Manufacturing

    Background:

    • Perfect vortex beams (PVBs) offer unique properties for advanced optical applications.
    • Generating and controlling PVBs in fiber-optic systems presents significant challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and fabricate an all-fiber perfect vortex beam (PVB) generator.
    • To demonstrate the tunability of PVB ring diameters using a 3D-printed component.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized 3D printing technology to fabricate a spiral axicon zone plate (SAZP).
    • Integrated the SAZP onto the fiber-end facet to create the PVB generator.
    • Performed simulations and experiments to validate the device's performance.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully generated focused perfect vortex beams (PVBs) in an all-fiber format.
    • Demonstrated that PVB ring diameters are independent of topological charge.
    • Showcased that ring diameters are tunable by adjusting the axicon angle and correlated with transverse wave vectors.

    Conclusions:

    • The 3D-printed SAZP enables efficient generation of tunable PVBs in fiber.
    • The developed PVB generator shows promise for high-capacity fiber-optic communication.
    • Potential applications include advanced optical trapping and manipulation with multifunctional optical tweezers.
