高斯型激光束在圆孔衍射过程中的光束畸变

由于激光畸变所产生的现象及其形成的物理机制十 分丰富,对畸变激光传输特性的研究已然成为一个重要的光学类课题。对此本文将以激光的 圆孔衍射作为切入,采用Zernike多项式函数拟合相位畸变元件的方法,探讨具有高斯型分布 的激光束在圆孔衍射过程中的光束畸变。进一步分析波长、传播距离及函数的阶数对光束畸 变的影响。结果显示,在畸变影响下,由于相散畸变因子作用导致光束 发生对称性退化,引起光束发生分裂,中心光强位置发生偏移,产生像散和离焦畸变现象。 而Zernike多项式函数中q 值会显著影响畸变中光束发生分裂的数量,且随激光波长和传播距离的增大,其畸变影响增 强,像散和离焦变得越明显。     

Relativistic Filamentation of Intense Laser Beam in Inhomogeneous Plasma

In the paper, relativistic filamentation of intense laser beam in inhomogeneous plasma is investigated based on the nonparaxial region theory. The results show that, relativistic nonlinearity plays a main role in beam filamentation, and plasma inhomogeneity further reinforces the beam filamentation. The combination effects of relativistic nonlinearity and plasma inhomogeneity can generate particularly intense and short pulse laser. However, plasma inhomogeneity leads to obvious filamentation instability.
