Shaping algorithm used for amplitude, phase and polarization of any light beam, and light path thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a shaping algorithm used for the amplitude, the phase and the polarization of any light beam. The algorithm comprises the following steps that: setting a light beam shaping parameter; carrying out calculation to obtain the complex amplitude of an input plane and the complex amplitude of an output plane; decomposing target amplitude into components in two mutually vertical directions, and determining a phase difference in two directions; obtaining corrected complex amplitude and the input plane; outputting the phase of the final input plane as a pure phase hologram; andobtaining a target light beam. By use of the algorithm, the amplitude, the phase and the polarization state of any point in the light field can be controlled, and the light beam shaping of any shape,phase distribution and polarization state can be realized. Meanwhile, the pure phase hologram is obtained so as to be conveniently realized by a spatial light modulator or a manufactured diffracted light component and phase sheet, and the shaping of the amplitude and the phase of the light beam can be finished. The method is quick, has a good shaping effect, is suitable for light paths, and has asimple equipment instrument. Meanwhile, the light path provided by the invention has the advantages of being simple in arrangement and calibration.

Description

technical field [0001] In particular, the invention relates to a shaping algorithm for the amplitude, phase and polarization of an arbitrary light beam and its optical path. Background technique [0002] Traditional lasers can only produce light intensity beams with Gaussian profiles or specific profiles. In actual scientific research and production, different fields have different requirements for beam profile, polarization, and phase distribution. In recent decades, the shaping and research on the amplitude, phase and polarization state of laser beams have shown that purposeful shaping of beams can lead to new beam properties and applications. A spatial light modulator (SLM) is a device that can modulate the amplitude or phase of light waves. By loading a hologram on the SLM and modulating the wavefront of the incident beam to obtain a target beam with a specific amplitude, phase, and polarization distribution, complex manipulation of particles, nanowires, or organelles c...

Problems solved by technology

The existing algorithms and corresponding methods that can simultaneously shape the amplitude, phase, and polarization of the beam have some defects: the target beam must be expressed in mathematical expressions, the combination of the generated beams is limited, the construction of the optical path is complicated, and calibration is difficult. And it is impossible to use a single phase photo to control the amplitude, phase and polarization state of any point at the same time
