The existence of the Ince-Gaussian beams is demonstrated that constitute the third complete family of exact and orthogonal solutions of the paraxial wave equation and has an inherent elliptical symmetry.Abstract:
We demonstrate the existence of the Ince-Gaussian beams that constitute the third complete family of exact and orthogonal solutions of the paraxial wave equation. Their transverse structure is described by the Ince polynomials and has an inherent elliptical symmetry. Ince-Gaussian beams constitute the exact and continuous transition modes between Laguerre and Hermite-Gaussian beams. The propagating characteristics are discussed as well.read more

TL;DR: Adding to fundamental singular optics, these investigations evince the conservation of tailored singularity arrangements upon 3D propagation, whereby respective modes enlarge the range of stable vectorial fields, paving the way to information technologies with a significantly enhanced number of degrees of freedom.

Orbital angular momentum of light and the transformation of Laguerre-Gaussian laser modes.
TL;DR: Laser light with a Laguerre-Gaussian amplitude distribution is found to have a well-defined orbital angular momentum and an astigmatic optical system may be used to transform a high-order LaguERre- Gaussian mode into aHigh-order Hermite-Gaussia mode reversibly.

Generation of a beam with a dark focus surrounded by regions of higher intensity: the optical bottle beam
Jochen Arlt,Miles J. Padgett +1 more
TL;DR: A computer-generated hologram is used to form an optical beam with a localized intensity null at its focus that will have applications in the optical trapping of macroscopic objects or atoms; hence the term optical bottle beam.

Transverse-mode beam splitter of a light beam and its application to quantum cryptography
Hiroyuki Sasada,Megumi Okamoto +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors theoretically and experimentally studied how a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with an additional mirror transforms a light beam composed of the second lowest transverse modes, and proposed a practical device involving the two interferometers for quantum cryptography, in which a photon carries two bits corresponding to the polarization and transverse mode.
