The optical vortices, which move along the beam axis as the light propagates, result in a rotation of the beam＇s transverse profile. This physical reason of the rotation is the Gouy phase acquired by the component beams.展开更多

The slope could be adjusted by changing the distance L between the waist of the incident beam and the lens. At the focus, 偏dФCE/O（Z/ZR） = 0 when L = 0, and 偏dФCE/偏d（z/zR） = -2 when L = ∞. The longer the distance L, the steeper the curve of the CE phase at the focus.展开更多

It is found that the SDVs can be spiral along the propagation axis, and they are perpendicular to the ysdirection on the ysaxis. This behavior is governed by the Gouy phase difference between the field polarization components. The 60° rotation of the spatial distribution of the transverse SDVs is also generated, which is found to be controlled by the Gouy phase difference between the field orbital angular momentum modes. Additionally, the spin density singularities are observed in the evolution of the SDVs.展开更多

文摘In this paper, we present a study on the propagation of the symmetrical optical vortices formed by two collinear Laguerre-Gauss solitons in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media. The optical vortices, which move along the beam axis as the light propagates, result in a rotation of the beam＇s transverse profile. This physical reason of the rotation is the Gouy phase acquired by the component beams.
