Optical eddy in nearly decades because its unique phase structure has all received concern widely with topological property in fields such as fundamental research and applied researcies.At optical field; If there is the phase place singular point in the center of light wave fields; And phase place changes around this singular point in the shape of a spiral continuously, and the light wave wavefront can rotate around a line on the direction of propagation in a spiral manner, forms spiral wavefront; This is similar to the vortex phenomenon in the fluid very much, so this quasi-optical wave is called as " optical eddy " (Optical Vortices).
Optical eddy is a kind of light field of uniqueness, and its screw type wavefront makes it to produce bigger orbital angular momentum with unique phase structure and novel topological property, successfully it has been shifted to particulate at present and has realized controlling particulate.Generally be used for the optical eddy that particulate controls and be mostly that wavefront contains the single vortex of a phase place singular point, and the many vortex structures that contain a plurality of phase place singular points can carry out multiple independently optics constraint.Because combined vortex can produce novel topological structure and intensity distributions, can satisfy the requirement of many vortex structures, therefore caused extensive concern.
Just analyzed the vortex stack of two parallel not conllinear as far back as people such as I.D.Maleev in 2003 and G.A.Swartzlander; Describe the optical phase singular point with the relative phase of two vortexs or the situation of change of amplitude, and obtained the critical condition that vortex produces and buries in oblivion.Conllinear stack research to optical eddy in recent years increases gradually, and wherein E.J.Galvez leader's research group is devoted to research in this respect in the period of 2006-2009, has drawn the regularity of distribution of the combined vortex that produces after the stack of two vortexs.
The stack of a plurality of vortexs produces new vortex and distributes; At present many a plurality of vortexs under different condition, superpose distribution or its regularities of distribution of generation combined vortex studied theoretically; And the introduction that obtains combined vortex through experiment seldom, utilizes Mach-Zehnder (Mach-Zehnder) optical interference circuit of two nested types to realize the coaxial stack of two vortexs (the topological charge value is integer or decimal) experimentally such as E.J.Galvez leader's research group.The method is convenient to control respectively the relative intensity and the phase place of interfering two optical eddies on the arm, but regulates the parallel and coaxial difficult of two optical eddies, and superposes for the coaxial interference of a plurality of (>2) vortex that to implement difficulty bigger.
