Optical vortex amplification up to the joule level using flash-lamp-pumped Nd:YAG amplifiers has been demonstrated for the first time. In experiment, vortex seed pulses were converted from a conventional Q-switched Nd:YAG laser output by a spiral phase plate and amplified with two Nd:YAG amplifier stages. A maximum output energy of optical vortex up to 995 mJ has been achieved at 10 Hz in a 10-ns ...Show More
We consider the light propagation in circular optical fibers with a higher-order flexural sound wave. The analytical expressions for fiber eigenstates and the corresponding propagation constant are obtained by applying the resonance perturbation theory to the wave equation and thoroughly analyzed. It is shown that the acosucto-optic interaction in the problem induces two travelling long-period hel...Show More
In this paper we have studied the light propagation in ideal optical fibers endowed with a propagating flexural acoustic mode of linear polarization. Using the perturbation theory approach, we have obtained the analytical expressions for optical fiber modes and the corresponding propagation constants taking into account acoustically-induced stress. We show the all-fiber spin-dependent generation o...Show More
The design and fabrication of compact phase-only diffractive optical elements (DOE) are considered for the (de)multiplexing of beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light. Samples have been fabricated with high-resolution electron-beam lithography on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) resist layer spun over a glass substrate and the high quality has been inspected with scanning electron micr...Show More
Electromagnetic beams that carry orbital angular momentum (OAM) have enormous potential in various applications. By exploiting the winding topology of quasi-BIC modes around the polarization singularity in $k$-space, a novel optical vortex (OV) generation method has been recently proposed. Compared with the conventional approaches, this method can lead to robust OV generators which are feasible an...Show More
The paper simulate a free-space optical communication using concentric perfect optical vortex (CPOV) beam for data transmission, where the CPOV beam is generated by loading a spatial light modulator with perfect optical vortex (POV) phases of different radii, and the CPOV beam is detected through the modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) consisting of the standardized MZI, a Dove Prism (DP) a...Show More
In this letter, we numerically and experimentally demonstrate the highly efficient generation of optical vortex arrays based on the quasi-Talbot effect with a reflective all-dielectric metasurface, which is composed of six identical orbital angular momentum lenses. Six separated and focused optical vortices at the focal plane can be high efficiently generated, and form a vortex array at the defocu...Show More
Recent advances on supercontinuum generation of optical vortices in ring-core photonic crystal fiber is reviewed. Beyond octave-spanning supercontinuum generation of TE01, TM01, OAM1,1 modes in the As2S3 photonic crystal fiber will be discussed.Show More
The formation of the modified area, which acts as phase converter for vortex generation, in the amorphous thin layer of the azo-containing polymer under the action of structured light beam is considered. The optical axes are produced in accordance with the polarization structure of the pump light beam. The beam with radial polarization induces the axially-symmetric optical axis distribution (simil...Show More
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a visualized ring-core fiber coupling alignment system. A two-layer fully connected diffraction neural network is used to tailor the input optical vortex beam for accurate size match.Show More
Optical vortices were generated by means of photoinduced point defects in orientation of the nematic liquid crystal (NLC). The axisymmetric distribution of NLC director field was produced due to photorefractive effect in NLC or due to isotropic channel formation in light absorbing NLC.Show More
We experimentally demonstrate an interesting phenomenon of optical bistability in an integrated optical vortex emitter when injecting high power into the waveguide due to the nonlinear optical effects. We clearly observe a hysteresis loop of the radiation power from the integrated vortex beam emitter when increasing and decreasing the input power.Show More
We model the effect of the off-axis distance of edge dislocation on the transmission of mixed higher order optical vortex-edge dislocations in atmospheric turbulence. We find that when mixed dislocations beams propagate through atmospheric turbulence, the higher order optical vortex will break down, and the topological charge is conserved in the process; an edge dislocation evolves into a pair of ...Show More
We demonstrate that there are promising possibilities for generating singular beams that bear optical vortices with the aid of parametric optical effects. These effects can arise in single crystals subjected to inhomogeneous mechanical stresses and electric fields. Another technique is acousto-optic or acousto-gyration interactions in single crystals. We reveal the resources for controlling the ef...Show More
Concentric perfect optical vortex beam(CPOV) is a significant light field which pay much attention. Here, we demonstrate the CPOV beam be used in Free-space optical communications, which can increase capacity at finite aperture. The result shows the CPOV beam could be decoded simply via the conjugate beam interference method. Moreover, we design a communication system and realize the transmission ...Show More
The Forked Grating Coupler (FGC) is a novel silicon photonics device that can interface with Optical Vortex (OV) light beams. The FGC combines the idea of an apodized Bragg grating coupler with a forked hologram, creating a device that can efficiently couple selected OV modes at near-normal incidence into confined dielectric waveguide modes of a photonic IC. FGCs retain many of the advantages of g...Show More
We experimentally demonstrate a suite of integrated inverse-designed optical vortex beam emitters. As these emitters are extremely compact, 3 × 3 µm, they are capable of operating over a 60 nm uninterrupted band.Show More
Upon interaction with inhomogeneous media, high-order optical vortices divide into canonical ones which diffuse away from the optical axis. We demonstrate how this dynamic process depends on both the topological charge and the interaction strength.Show More
Spatial optical solitary waves in media with nonlinear refractive index are self-localized beams as well as waveguides induced by light. We review their guiding features in reorientational birefringent soft matter, namely nematic liquid crystals, for which a highly “nonlocal” response enhances the confinement, stabilization, and robustness of the generated optical solitary waves, termed “nematicon...Show More
We developed an analytical model for 3D spatial cross-correlations in speckles fields generated by scattering of structured beams. Specific properties identified for different types of optical vortices can guide their use in remote sensing applications.Show More
The coherent propagation and detection of multiple coaxial beams carrying distinct orbital angular momentum states is experimentally demonstrated. High-contrast detection is obtained to demonstrate the applicability to free-space laser communications.Show More
Properties of vortex beams are significantly affected upon interaction with random phase screens. We provide a quantitative description of the measurable vorticity as a function of variance and spatial correlation properties of distorting media.Show More
We present an effective method to generate optical vortices (OVs) by using a helical fiber Bragg grating (H-FBG) written directly on the few-mode fiber. The helical index modulation is obtained by rotating fiber during single-side UV exposure using a phase mask. A set of coupled-mode equations are formulated to analysis reflection characteristics of the H-FBG. We propose that stable OVs can be ach...Show More
Opitcal vortices can not be removed with a conventional adaptive optics system. However, vortices can annihilate in pairs after a least-squares correction. This phenomenon can be explained by vortex plasma and confirmed with numerical simulations.Show More
