Description

一种基于双折射偏振分束器产生矢量光束的方法及装置A method and device for generating vector beams based on a birefringent polarization beam splitter

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种基于双折射偏振分束器产生矢量光束的方法及装置,属于矢量光束技术领域。The invention relates to a method and a device for generating a vector beam based on a birefringent polarization beam splitter, and belongs to the technical field of vector beams.

背景技术Background technique

近年来,越来越多的研究开始涉及到偏振态空间非均匀分布的矢量光束,因为人们发现这种矢量光束具有一些均匀偏振的标量光场所不具备的特殊性质(参见文献1-4)。矢量光束的特殊性质已经在超分辨聚焦成像(参见文献5和6)、表面等离激元激发(参见文献7和8)、光学微操纵(参见文献9-12)、激光微加工(参见文献13和14)等领域显示了其重要的实际应用价值。In recent years, more and more studies have begun to involve vector beams with non-uniform distribution of polarization states, because it has been found that such vector beams have some special properties that scalar light fields with uniform polarization do not have (see references 1-4). The special properties of vector beams have been used in super-resolution focused imaging (see literature 5 and 6), surface plasmon excitation (see literature 7 and 8), optical micromanipulation (see literature 9-12), laser micromachining (see literature 13 and 14) and other fields have shown its important practical application value.

由于多数商品激光器只能够输出简单模式的激光,因此如何将它们转变成同时具有特定偏振分布和特定复振幅分布的矢量光束成为许多实际应用中的一个难题。为解决这一难题人们已经做了大量工作并提出了许多实现途径。这些途径大致可分为基于常规光学元件的静态转换技术(参见文献15-17)和基于可程控的空间光调制器的动态转换技术(参见文献18-33)。而后者由于具有可动态程控的优点更令人感兴趣并得到广泛应用。产生任意矢量光束通常需要同时调控两个正交偏振态的复振幅分布。文献5以及文献18-21采用了两个独立的SLM来达到这一目的;而文献22-31所采用的系统则由一个SLM和一个可以实现双通道偏振分离和重组的光学系统构成。Since most commercial lasers can only output simple modes, how to transform them into vector beams with both specific polarization distribution and specific complex amplitude distribution has become a difficult problem in many practical applications. A lot of work has been done and many approaches have been proposed to solve this problem. These approaches can be roughly divided into static switching techniques based on conventional optical elements (see literature 15-17) and dynamic switching techniques based on programmable spatial light modulators (see literature 18-33). The latter is more interesting and widely used due to its advantage of being dynamically programmable. Generating arbitrary vector beams usually requires simultaneous manipulation of the complex amplitude distributions of two orthogonal polarization states. Literature 5 and Literature 18-21 use two independent SLMs to achieve this purpose; while the systems used in Literature 22-31 consist of one SLM and an optical system that can realize dual-channel polarization separation and recombination.

最近,文献32和文献33提出了两种基于渥拉斯顿棱镜的任意矢量光束生成方法和装置,但文献33的方法只能用于生成一些特殊的矢量光束,例如偏振漩涡;而文献32的方法则需要在光路中插入非偏振分束器,从而使能量利用率大大降低。Recently, literature 32 and literature 33 proposed two arbitrary vector beam generation methods and devices based on Wollaston prisms, but the method in literature 33 can only be used to generate some special vector beams, such as polarization vortices; while the literature 32 The method needs to insert a non-polarizing beam splitter in the optical path, so that the energy utilization rate is greatly reduced.

综上所述,如何采用简单的方法和装置高效率生成任意矢量光束仍然是该技术领域亟待解决的一个问题。To sum up, how to efficiently generate arbitrary vector beams with simple methods and devices is still an urgent problem to be solved in this technical field.

具体实施方式detailed description

本发明基于双折射偏振分束器产生矢量光束的装置不需要复杂的光路,而且所需的光学元件也很简单,采用了4f空间滤波成像光路系统,如图1(a)所示,只需要一个常规的计算全息图(CGH)、一个双折射偏振分束器(BBS)、两个傅里叶透镜(第一傅里叶透镜Lens1和第二傅里叶透镜Lens2)和一个滤波孔径(FA),在CGH和BBS之间不需要插入任何光学元件。如图1(b),计算全息图(CGH)放在第一傅里叶透镜Lens1的前焦面P1,双折射偏振分束器(BBS)放在第一傅里叶透镜Lens1的前焦面P1与第一傅里叶透镜Lens1之间,滤波孔径(FA)放在第一傅里叶透镜Lens1的后焦面(也就是空间频谱面)P2上。在滤波孔径与输出面之间放置第二个傅里叶透镜Lens2。双折射偏振分束器(BBS)可以是一个渥拉斯顿棱镜或洛凶棱镜,也可以是一个简单的双折射微角分束棱镜。The present invention is based on the birefringence polarizing beam splitter to produce the device of vector beam that does not need complicated optical path, and the required optical element is also very simple, has adopted 4f spatial filter imaging optical path system, as shown in Fig. 1 (a), only needs A conventional computational hologram (CGH), a birefringent polarizing beam splitter (BBS), two Fourier lenses (first Fourier lens Lens1 and second Fourier lens Lens2) and a filter aperture (FA ), there is no need to insert any optical components between the CGH and the BBS. As shown in Figure 1(b), the computational hologram (CGH) is placed on the front focal plane P1 of the first Fourier lens Lens1, and the birefringent polarizing beam splitter (BBS) is placed on the front focal plane of the first Fourier lens Lens1 Between P1 and the first Fourier lens Lens1 , the filter aperture (FA) is placed on the rear focal plane (that is, the spatial spectrum plane) P2 of the first Fourier lens Lens1 . A second Fourier lens Lens2 is placed between the filter aperture and the output facet. The birefringent polarizing beam splitter (BBS) can be a Wollaston prism or a Logger prism, or a simple birefringent micro-angle beamsplitter prism.

双折射偏振分束器BBS假设是一个分束角为2α的双折射渥拉斯顿棱镜,该棱镜与CGH之间的距离为d。为简化分析,假设两个傅里叶透镜(Lens1和Lens2)的焦距均为f。同时通过将输出面P3的坐标与输入面P1(也就是前焦面P1)的坐标反向来消除光场经两个傅里叶透镜的二次傅立叶变换产生的符号变化。The birefringent polarization beam splitter BBS is assumed to be a birefringent Wollaston prism with a beam splitting angle of 2α, and the distance between the prism and the CGH is d. To simplify the analysis, assume that the focal lengths of the two Fourier lenses (Lens1 and Lens2) are both f. At the same time, by reversing the coordinates of the output plane P3 and the coordinates of the input plane P1 (that is, the front focal plane P1 ), the sign change produced by the double Fourier transformation of the light field through the two Fourier lenses is eliminated.

从图1(a)中可以看出,由于在第一傅里叶透镜Lens1和CGH之间插入了双折射偏振分束器(BBS),透过CGH的光场在输出面P3处产生两个相互错位的像,一个为水平(沿x轴)线偏振光,另一个为垂直(沿y轴)线偏振光,两个像的错位量等于xα=d tan(α)。It can be seen from Fig. 1(a) that due to the birefringent polarizing beam splitter (BBS) inserted between the first Fourier lens Lens1 and the CGH, the light field passing through the CGH produces two For the mutually misaligned images, one is horizontal (along x-axis) linearly polarized light, and the other is vertical (along y-axis) linearly polarized light, and the misalignment of the two images is equal to x α =d tan(α).

假设位于输入面P1处的CGH的复振幅透过率函数为t(x,y);照明CGH的入射光为线偏振平面光,其偏振方向与x轴成θ0角。为了使最终产生的矢量光束沿光轴传播,设照明光沿y方向的空间频率分量为kα=2πsin(α)/λ,λ为照明光波长。先不考虑空间频谱面P2处的滤波孔径FA,此时输出面P3处的输出光场可以表示成以下的琼斯矢量形式:Assume that the complex amplitude transmittance function of the CGH located at the input surface P1 is t(x, y); the incident light illuminating the CGH is linearly polarized plane light, and its polarization direction forms an angle θ 0 with the x-axis. In order to make the finally generated vector light beam propagate along the optical axis, the spatial frequency component of the illumination light along the y direction is set as k α =2πsin(α)/λ, where λ is the wavelength of the illumination light. Regardless of the filter aperture FA at the spatial spectrum plane P2, the output light field at the output plane P3 can be expressed as the following Jones vector form:

其中,E0为入射光的振幅,j为虚数符号;C1和C2为两个小于1的常数,分别用来表征CGH对两个正交偏振态的透射效率。对于一个各项同性的CGH,C1通常等于C2;在这种情况下,入射光的偏振方向角θ0可以设置为45度。如果CGH为各项异性的(例如:用液晶空间光调制器输出CGH),C1通常不等于C2;此时可以通过调整角度θ0使C1 cosθ0=C2 sinθ0。这样,(1)式可以简化为:Among them, E 0 is the amplitude of the incident light, j is the imaginary number sign; C1 and C2 are two constants less than 1, which are used to characterize the transmission efficiency of CGH to two orthogonal polarization states, respectively. For an isotropic CGH, C1 is usually equal to C2; in this case, the polarization direction angle θ0 of the incident light can be set to 45 degrees. If the CGH is anisotropic (for example: using a liquid crystal spatial light modulator to output CGH), C1 is usually not equal to C2; at this time, C 1 cosθ 0 =C 2 sinθ 0 can be adjusted by adjusting the angle θ 0 . In this way, (1) can be simplified as:

由于一个任意二维矢量光束均可分解成两个正交偏振分量,该矢量光束的复振幅分布可用以下琼斯矢量来表示:Since an arbitrary two-dimensional vector beam can be decomposed into two orthogonal polarization components, the complex amplitude distribution of the vector beam can be expressed by the following Jones vector:

其中ux和uy为两个正交偏振分量各自的复振幅,(ax,ay)和则分别为两个正交偏振分量的振幅和相位。利用图1(b)所示光路的偏振成像特性,可以将拟产生的矢量光束的两个正交偏振分量的复振幅ux和uy进行适当平移后编码到计算全息图(CGH)的两个不同衍射方向上,并设定适当大小的载频,以使当用适当照明光照明该CGH时其相应的衍射再现像刚好能在输出面上实现偏振叠加。例如,在图1(b)所示的坐标系统中,可将ux和uy编码到与x轴分别成+45度和-45度的衍射方向上并使其载频沿x轴的分量分别为exp(jkαx)和exp(-jkαx);ux和uy的坐标平移量分别为+xα和-xα。这样的衍射光通过双折射偏振分束器BBS和滤波孔径FA后,在输出面P3上刚好可以产生公式(3)所示的矢量光束。where u x and u y are the respective complex amplitudes of the two orthogonal polarization components, (a x , a y ) and are the amplitude and phase of the two orthogonal polarization components, respectively. Utilizing the polarization imaging characteristics of the optical path shown in Figure 1(b), the complex amplitudes u x and u y of the two orthogonal polarization components of the vector beam to be generated can be properly translated and encoded into the two components of the computational hologram (CGH). Different diffraction directions, and set the appropriate carrier frequency, so that when the CGH is illuminated with appropriate illumination light, its corresponding diffraction reproduction image can just achieve polarization superposition on the output surface. For example, in the coordinate system shown in Figure 1(b), u x and u y can be encoded into the diffraction directions at +45 degrees and -45 degrees from the x-axis respectively and have their carrier frequencies along the x-axis components are exp(jk α x) and exp(-jk α x); the coordinate translations of u x and u y are +x α and -x α respectively. After such diffracted light passes through the birefringent polarization beam splitter BBS and the filter aperture FA, the vector beam shown in formula (3) can just be generated on the output surface P3.

以常用的修正离轴干涉型计算全息图(CGH)为例,本发明中的CGH可按以下公式进行编码:Taking the commonly used modified off-axis interferometric computational hologram (CGH) as an example, the CGH in the present invention can be coded according to the following formula:

其中a0和a1为大于0的常数。之所以这样编码计算全息图CGH,是因为当把这样一种全息图放到图1所示光路的输入面P1时,在系统输出面P3处的输出光场将具有以下形式:Where a 0 and a 1 are constants greater than 0. The reason why the computational hologram CGH is encoded in this way is because when such a hologram is placed on the input surface P1 of the optical path shown in Figure 1, the output light field at the output surface P3 of the system will have the following form:

公式(6)可以通过将(5)式带入(2)式推导出来。由公式(6)可见其中的第二项刚好就是所需要的矢量光束。Equation (6) can be derived by substituting (5) into (2). It can be seen from formula (6) that the second term is exactly the required vector beam.

公式(6)中尽管存在一些多余的项,但这些多余的项都可以通过空间滤波的方式消除掉,因为公式(6)所示的光场的空间频谱,也就是它在系统的空间频谱面P2上的光场分布刚好正比于公式(6)的傅立叶变换,即:Although there are some redundant items in the formula (6), these redundant items can be eliminated by spatial filtering, because the spatial spectrum of the light field shown in the formula (6), that is, it is in the spatial spectrum plane of the system The light field distribution on P2 is just proportional to the Fourier transform of formula (6), namely:

其中,ξ0=η0=f sinα,F{}表示傅立叶变换运算,分别为复振幅ux和uy的空间频谱,δ()表示狄拉特函数。图2(a)给出了公式(7)所示的空间频谱分布示意图。而图2(b)则是如果光路中不放置双折射偏振分束器BBS时在空间频谱面P2上的空间频谱分布示意图。由图2可见,只需在图2(a)中由虚线圆标示出的位置处放置一个半径R≤f sinα的滤波孔径FA,公式(6)中除第二项以外的所有其它不需要的项都可以被滤波圆孔FA挡住,而只让能产生所需矢量光场的第二项通过。Among them, ξ 00 =f sinα, F{} represents the Fourier transform operation, with are the spatial frequency spectrums of the complex amplitudes u x and u y respectively, and δ() represents the Dilatus function. Figure 2(a) shows a schematic diagram of the spatial spectrum distribution shown in formula (7). Fig. 2(b) is a schematic diagram of the distribution of the spatial frequency spectrum on the spatial frequency spectrum plane P2 if the birefringent polarization beam splitter BBS is not placed in the optical path. It can be seen from Fig. 2 that it is only necessary to place a filter aperture FA with a radius R≤f sinα at the position marked by the dotted circle in Fig. 2(a), and all other unnecessary items except the second term in formula (6) Both terms can be blocked by the filter aperture FA, and only the second term that produces the desired vector light field is allowed to pass.

根据上面的理论分析,本发明产生任意矢量光束的方法,具体实施步骤为:According to the above theoretical analysis, the present invention produces the method for arbitrary vector light beam, and concrete implementation steps are:

(a)给出拟产生的矢量光束的琼斯矢量或其正交偏振分量的复振幅分布ux(x,y)和uy(x,y)。(a) Give the complex amplitude distributions u x (x,y) and u y (x,y) of the Jones vector or its orthogonally polarized component of the vector beam to be generated.

(b)根据(5)式设计所需的计算全息图,其中参数设定为kα=2πsin(α)/λ和xα=dtan(α)。(b) Design the required computational hologram according to equation (5), where the parameters are set as k α =2πsin(α)/λ and x α =dtan(α).

(c)将设计好的CGH置于图1所示系统的输入面P1处,并用一个倾斜平面光束或高斯光束照射。(c) Place the designed CGH at the input surface P1 of the system shown in Fig. 1, and irradiate it with an inclined plane beam or a Gaussian beam.

(d)将一个半径R等于或小于f sinα的滤波孔径(FA)置于系统的空间频谱面P2上对应公式(7)中的第二项所在位置,从而只让对应该第二项的光能够通过滤波孔径(FA)。通过滤波孔径(FA)的光再经过第二傅里叶透镜Lens2就可在输出面P3处得到所需的矢量光束。第二个傅里叶透镜Lens2只是用来将所产生的矢量光束转换成它在计算全息图(CGH)上的分布形式;在许多实际应用中透镜Lens2可以去掉。(d) Place a filter aperture (FA) with a radius R equal to or smaller than f sinα on the spatial spectrum plane P2 of the system corresponding to the second item in formula (7), so that only the light corresponding to the second item Able to pass filter aperture (FA). The light passing through the filter aperture (FA) passes through the second Fourier lens Lens2 to obtain the required vector light beam at the output surface P3. The second Fourier lens Lens2 is only used to transform the generated vector beam into its distribution on the computational hologram (CGH); lens Lens2 can be removed in many practical applications.

通过实验进一步证明了本发明的可行性。实验中,所用入射光波为波长632.8nm的激光。采用的双折射偏振分束器(BBS)是一个分束角约为2α=0.25°方解石渥拉斯顿棱镜,该BBS到输入面P1的距离为d≈25mm。所用两个傅里叶透镜的焦距均为f=300mm。实验所产生的矢量光束为矢量拉盖尔-高斯(LG)光束,其琼斯矢量为:The feasibility of the present invention is further proved by experiments. In the experiment, the incident light wave used is a laser with a wavelength of 632.8nm. The birefringent polarizing beam splitter (BBS) used is a calcite Wollaston prism with a beam splitting angle of about 2α=0.25°, and the distance between the BBS and the input plane P1 is d≈25 mm. Both Fourier lenses used have a focal length of f=300 mm. The vector beam generated by the experiment is a vector Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beam, and its Jones vector is:

其中in

式中,(r,θ)为极坐标,即θ=tan-1(y/x);Cnm为归一化常数,ω0为束宽参数,为拉盖尔多项式,m和n为整数。LG光束是一种典型的光学涡旋,该光学涡旋的拓扑核等于整数m。矢量LG光束则存在两个正交偏振涡旋分量,并且两个正交偏振涡旋分量的拓扑荷可以取不同的值。In the formula, (r, θ) is a polar coordinate, namely θ=tan -1 (y/x); C nm is the normalization constant, ω 0 is the beam width parameter, For Laguerre polynomials, m and n are integers. The LG beam is a typical optical vortex, and the topological core of the optical vortex is equal to the integer m. There are two orthogonally polarized vortex components in the vector LG beam, and the topological charges of the two orthogonally polarized vortex components can take different values.

图3所示为利用本发明方法实验产生的矢量光束实例。实验中该矢量光束的设计参数为:ux=U1,4(x,y)(对应参数n=1和m=4)和uy=U2,1(x,y)(对应参数n=2和m=1)。图3(a)为在系统输出面P3处得到的矢量光束的总强度分布。图3(b)、(c)和(d)则分别为所产生的矢量光束的45度方向偏振分量、水平(x方向)偏振分量和垂直(y方向)偏振分量的强度分布。为了进一步揭示该矢量光束的两个正交偏振分量的相位分布特性,图3(e)和图3(f)还分别给出了该矢量光束的两个正交偏振分量(水平偏振和垂直偏振)和一平面偏振光的干涉图样。该干涉图样的条纹分布特征表明,其水平偏振分量是一个拓扑核m=4的光学涡旋,而其垂直偏振分量则为一个拓扑核m=1的光学涡旋。上述实验生成的矢量光束参数与设计参数是一致的。Figure 3 shows an example of a vector beam experimentally produced by the method of the present invention. The design parameters of the vector beam in the experiment are: u x =U 1,4 (x,y) (corresponding to parameters n=1 and m=4) and u y =U 2,1 (x,y) (corresponding to parameters n =2 and m=1). Fig. 3(a) is the total intensity distribution of the vector beam obtained at the output surface P3 of the system. Figure 3(b), (c) and (d) respectively show the intensity distribution of the 45-degree direction polarization component, the horizontal (x direction) polarization component and the vertical (y direction) polarization component of the generated vector beam. In order to further reveal the phase distribution characteristics of the two orthogonally polarized components of the vector beam, Figure 3(e) and Figure 3(f) also respectively show the two orthogonally polarized components (horizontal polarization and vertical polarization) of the vector beam ) and a plane-polarized light interference pattern. The fringe distribution characteristics of the interference pattern show that its horizontal polarization component is an optical vortex with a topological kernel m=4, and its vertical polarization component is an optical vortex with a topological kernel m=1. The vector beam parameters generated by the above experiments are consistent with the design parameters.

需要说明的是,上述实验中采用的双折射偏振分束器BBS分束角度并不是最佳值。理论上该BBS的分束角越大,产生的矢量光束的空间分辨率会越高。但该分束角的大小要受到实验中所采用的计算全息图CGH有效带宽的限制。It should be noted that the beam splitting angle of the birefringent polarization beam splitter BBS used in the above experiments is not an optimal value. Theoretically, the larger the beam splitting angle of the BBS is, the higher the spatial resolution of the generated vector beam will be. However, the size of the beam splitting angle is limited by the effective bandwidth of the computational hologram CGH used in the experiment.

本发明与已有的产生矢量光束的技术相比,更为简单实用。特别是本发明中,在计算全息图CGH和双折射偏振分束器之间不需要插入其它分束和偏振转换器件,因此更容易集成和应用,所产生的矢量光束的两个正交偏振分量的消光比可低于10-5,从而可生成高质量矢量光束。Compared with the existing technology for generating vector beams, the present invention is simpler and more practical. Especially in the present invention, there is no need to insert other beam splitting and polarization conversion devices between the computational hologram CGH and the birefringent polarization beam splitter, so it is easier to integrate and apply, and the two orthogonal polarization components of the generated vector beam The extinction ratio can be lower than 10 -5 , which can generate high-quality vector beams.
