It has great significance to improve various optical systems for wide application in trapping cold atoms, creating gratings, and atmospheric optical communication. We calculate analytical formulas for the spectral density (SD) and the propagation factors M<sub>x</sub>2</sup> and M<sub>y</sub>2</sup> of a GSMA beam. The influence of inner scale of turbulence in the jet engine exhaust region on its power spectrum has been also analyzed. According to these results, the influence of turbulence in a jet engine exhaust on a GSMA beam has been reduced by changing the parameters of light source and turbulence. For example, it is an excellent tool for mitigation of the jet engine exhaust-induced anisotropy of turbulence to increase the source coherence length, the root-mean-squared (rms) beam width, the wavelength or reduce the outer scale of turbulence.展开更多

The on-axis SI in a marine atmosphere is higher than that in a terrestrial atmosphere, but the off-axis SI exhibits the opposite trend. The on-axis SI first increases and then begins to decrease and saturate as the turbulence strength increases. Turbulence inner and outer scales have different effects on the on-axis SI in different turbulent fluctuation regions. The anisotropy characteristic of atmospheric turbulence leads to the decline in the on-axis SI, and the rise in the off-axis SI. The on-axis SI can be lowered by increasing the anisotropy of turbulence, wavelength, and source partial coherence before entering the saturation attenuation region. The developed model may be useful for evaluating ship-to-ship/shore free-space optical communication system performance.展开更多

Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle and a quadratic approximation, an analytical formula of average intensity for Gaussian-Schell-model beams in turbulent atmosphere along a slant path is derived, and some special cases are discussed. From the study and the comparison with the direct propagation, we can see that the relay propagation has an advantage over the direct propagation. When the altitude of the target is low, the peak intensity of relay propagation is much larger than that of direct propagation. However, because of the limitation of the relay system aperture for relay propagation and the variation of coherence length for direct propagation, the difference in peak intensity between the two propagations decreases with the increase of the target altitude.展开更多

It is shown that the axial irradiance distribution, the maximum axial irradiance and its position of focused GSM beams by an astigmatic aperture lens depend upon the astigmatism of the lens, the coherence of partially coherent light, the truncation parameter of the aperture and Fresnel number. The numerical calculation results are given to illustrate how these parameters affect the focusing property.展开更多

The optical caustics of drops with an equatorial radius a = 50 μm, 100 μm, 200 μm, and 500 μm are studied at the same drop/beam ratios (i.e. γ the ratio between the droplet equatorial radius and the Gaussian beam waist) using concentric illumination with a Gaussian beam, and the effect of droplet size on the optical caustics is analyzed. The curvature of the rainbow fringe and the evolution of the cusp caustics position, in this case, are obtained;the diameter range of droplet shape (ellipsoid) measured by Gaussian beam illumination is broadened. Based on this model, the effects of the relative positions d = 0, 0.5y<sub>R</sub>, and y<sub>R</sub> on the optical caustics of the droplet when the center of the Gaussian beam deviates from the droplet center (the center of the Gaussian beam waist is on the same y-axis as the droplet center) are discussed. The optical caustics of the droplet when the center of the Gaussian beam is off the droplet center (the center of the Gaussian beam waist is on the z-axis with the droplet center) are also discussed. The effects of the relative positions of the center of the beam waist and the droplet center d = 0, 0.5y<sub>R</sub>, and y<sub>R</sub> on the optical caustics are also discussed. A method of measuring droplet shape with Gaussian beam illumination is proposed when the beam waist center is coaxial with the droplet center.展开更多

Both these models have different weaknesses that limit their effectiveness. Here, we will show that one can develop a Gaussian Beam Equivalent Point Source (GBEPS) model that removes those weaknesses and combines the accuracy and versatility of the point source models with much of the speed and well-behaved nature of Gaussian beam models. We will demonstrate the efficiency and versatility of this new GBEPS model in simulating the beams generated from ultrasonic phased arrays, using as few as one Gaussian beam per element of the array. A single element GBEPS model will be shown to be as accurate as a point source model even when substantial beam focusing or steering is present in the array or where the array beam is transmitted through an interface. At the same time the GBEPS model will be shown to be several orders of magnitude faster than the point source model.展开更多
