Title: Mode transformation of multipole beams with selective degrees of freedom
Abstract:
The manipulation of the light field has significant scientific significance. Different laser beams have different light field modes, exhibiting diversity during transmission. Different transmission modes can be obtained through different regulation methods, and mode transformation control can be achieved. In nonlocal nonlinear media, various multipole beams have their own unique modes of variation, which can form either narrow soliton forms with unchanged optical field modes or generalized soliton forms with periodic changes in optical field modes. If initial orbital angular momentum is added to the constructed beam array and complex structured beams, it can achieve mode transformation and transmission of different trajectories for the diversity of the beam array and complex beams. This has scientific significance for constructing complex optical networks. We conducted a detailed study on the mode transformation and transmission trajectory of various beam arrays and complex structured beams, including beam arrays with traditional orbital angular momentum and cross phase complex structured beams that can generate orbital angular momentum, and obtained a rich variety of mode changes. We analyzed the effects of various beam parameters on the transmission trajectory, rotation speed, and rotation angular velocity, in order to further control the transformation of beam modes.
