Progress on studies of beams carrying twist

Z Liu, L Wan, Y Zhou, Y Zhang, D Zhao - Photonics, 2021 - mdpi.com
Optical twist has always been a hot spot in optics since it was discovered in 1993. Twisted
beams can be generated by introducing the twist phase into partially coherent beams, or by …

Controllable rotating Gaussian Schell-model beams

L Wan, D Zhao - Optics Letters, 2019 - opg.optica.org
Optical twists are the rotation of light structures along the beam axis, which can be caused
by the quadratic twist phase of a partially coherent field. Here, we introduce a new class of …

Orbital angular momentum spectra of twisted Laguerre-Gaussian Schell-model beams propagating in weak-to-strong Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulence

H Wang, Z Yang, L Liu, Y Chen, F Wang, Y Cai - Optics Express, 2023 - opg.optica.org
The presence of atmospheric turbulence in a beam propagation path results in the spread of
orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes of laser beams, limiting the performance of free …

We investigate the second-order statistics of a twisted Hermite-Gaussian correlated Schell-
model (THGCSM) beam propagation in turbulent atmosphere, including the spectral density …

Customizing twisted Schell-model beams

C Tian, S Zhu, H Huang, Y Cai, Z Li - Optics Letters, 2020 - opg.optica.org
Since the celebrated twist phase was proposed by Simon and Mukunda, despite the
tremendous progress made in theory over the past decades, developing a simple and …

Controllable self-rotating array beam with an arc-shaped accelerating trajectory

K Niu, Y Liu, Z Chu, Q Tian, X He, C Pan, F Wang - Optics Express, 2023 - opg.optica.org
In this study, a modified interfering vortex phase mask (MIVPM) is proposed to generate a
new type of self-rotating beam. The MIVPM is based on a conventional and stretched vortex …

S Zhu, P Li, Z Li, Y Cai, W He - Optics Letters, 2021 - opg.optica.org
The inverse method of proving the twistability of cross-spectral density (CSD) inevitably falls
into spontaneous difficulties. Based on a nonnegative self-consistent design guideline for …

L Wan, D Zhao - Optics Letters, 2019 - opg.optica.org
A new, to the best of our knowledge, family of partially coherent beams incorporating a set of
nonseparable phases is introduced. Due to the nonnegative definiteness of the cross …
