Curvilinear Motion: Normal and Tangential Components

465
When a car traverses a curved road, its motion can be elucidated by breaking it down into tangential and normal components. The car-centric coordinates attached to the vehicle move with it.
The positive direction of the t-axis aligns with the increasing position of the car along the curved path, denoted by the unit vector ut. Simultaneously, the n-axis, perpendicular to the t-axis, dissects the curved path into differential arc segments, each forming the arc of a circle with a radius of...

    Area of Science:

    • Optical physics
    • Wavefront sensing
    • Singularity optics

    Background:

    • Phase singularities are sensitive to phase disturbances, making them valuable for wavefront retrieval.
    • Current methods analyze vortex trajectories but overlook the relationship between primary aberrations and these paths.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate how distinct optical aberrations influence the trajectories of phase singularities (vortices).
    • To establish a link between specific aberrations and observable vortex trajectory behaviors for improved optical system analysis.

    Main Methods:

    • Numerical simulations of vortex trajectories with introduced aberrations (defocus, coma, astigmatism).
    • Development of metrics to quantify the relationship between aberrations and trajectory paths.
    • Experimental validation of an autofocusing algorithm based on trajectory analysis.

    Main Results:

    • Defocus, coma, and astigmatism each induce a unique, identifiable response in vortex trajectories.
    • The study proposes metrics capable of differentiating between these primary aberration types.
    • An autofocusing algorithm utilizing trajectory shape for back focal plane identification was successfully validated.

    Conclusions:

    • Optical vortex trajectories offer a novel method for characterizing wavefront aberrations.
    • The findings advance wavefront sensing capabilities by leveraging phase singularity properties.
    • This research provides a foundation for more sophisticated optical metrology and system alignment.
