Phase Analyse of Non-Vortical and Vortical Beams in Fractional Fourier Transform System

Abstract:

The phase of vortical beams is very different from that of non-vortical beams. The phase of non-vortical and vortical beams in fractional Fourier transform system is investigated by selecting different parameters of the anomalous vortical beam. It is found that although the intensity distribution is similar except nearby the Fourier transform plane for the non-vortical and the vortical beams, the phase distribution is very different even the beam parameters are the same except the topological charge. The different phases bring different intensity distributions especially at the Fourier transform plane, i.e the center of non-vortical beams is a very strong intensity peaks, however the center of vortical beams is a dark region.
