Technical Field

Background
The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not necessarily constitute prior art.
A square array of vortex beams is typically implemented using a liquid crystal spatial light modulator. The liquid crystal spatial light modulator is based on the birefringence effect of liquid crystal molecules under active control, and controls the molecular orientation of the liquid crystal molecules through an external electric field so as to realize the modulation of an optical field. The method can conveniently load information into a one-dimensional or two-dimensional optical field, and quickly process the loaded information by utilizing the advantages of wide bandwidth of light, multi-channel parallel processing and the like. It is the core device of the system for real-time optical information processing, optical interconnection, optical computation, etc.
The square array space spiral light beam has special intensity distribution characteristics, in the light transmission direction, the intensity distribution of the light field can correspondingly rotate along with the change of the transmission distance, and the spiral light intensity distribution characteristics similar to DNA molecules are formed in the space. Due to the special intensity distribution characteristics, the method can be applied to the fields of three-dimensional material processing, particle control, optical communication and the like, such as processing of three-dimensional photonic crystals and optical waveguides with spiral structures by adopting a holographic interference method. The array spiral beam can be realized by superposing an array vortex beam and an axial plane wave. At present, array vortex light beams can be obtained through an amplitude type or phase type spatial modulator, and the array spatial spiral light beams can be generated by interference superposition of axial plane waves.
However, the inventor found that, since the spatial light modulator includes many independent units spatially arranged in a one-dimensional or two-dimensional array, individual control of each liquid crystal unit can be realized by a complicated thin film transistor circuit, thereby realizing modulation of light waves illuminated thereon, which results in a complicated structure and a high price of the spatial light modulator itself; on the other hand, the pixel size of the spatial light modulator is large, and it is difficult to generate an array vortex beam of a small scale.

A Charge Coupled Device (CCD) is a new type of semiconductor device developed in the early 70 s of the 20 th century.
Since the two-dimensional orthogonal grating includes two types, namely, a phase type and an amplitude type, the square array vortex beam generating device can be realized by using two phase type two-dimensional orthogonal gratings or two amplitude type two-dimensional orthogonal gratings.
Example one
The following is a detailed description of two phase type two-dimensional orthogonal gratings as an example:
as shown in fig. 1, the square array vortex beam generating device of the present embodiment includes:
the first light splitting prism 3 is used for splitting the parallel light beams into two paths, wherein one path of the parallel light beam passes through the first quarter-wave plate 4 and is reflected to the first phase type two-dimensional orthogonal grating 6 by the first plane reflector 5; the other path of parallel light beam passes through a second quarter-wave plate 12 and is reflected to a second phase type two-dimensional orthogonal grating 14 by a second plane mirror 13;
the light field generated by the first phase type two-dimensional orthogonal grating 6 passes through a first Fourier lens 7 to obtain a frequency spectrum at a focal plane, and then four point light sources with brightest central areas are obtained through a first filter 8; the light field generated by the second phase type two-dimensional orthogonal grating 14 passes through a second Fourier lens 15 to obtain a frequency spectrum at a focal plane, and then four point light sources with the brightest central area are obtained through a second filter 16;
four point light sources obtained by the first filter 8 and the second filter 16 respectively pass through the second light splitting prism and then pass through the third Fourier lens 10 to generate a square array vortex light beam, and the square array vortex light beam is recorded by a charge coupled device.
In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, a quadrature phase grating-based square array vortex beam generating apparatus further includes: a laser light source 1 and a beam expanding collimator lens 2.
The first fourier lens 7, the second fourier lens 15 and the third fourier lens 10 have the same focal length f.
Laser emitted by the laser source 1 passes through the beam expanding collimating lens 2 to obtain a large-caliber parallel light beam. The large-caliber parallel light beams are divided into two paths through the first beam splitter prism 3 and then pass through the quarter-wave plate. The fast axis of the quarter-wave plate arranged in one optical branch is consistent with the polarization direction of light, and the slow axis of the quarter-wave plate arranged in the other optical branch is consistent with the polarization direction of light, so that a quarter-wave phase difference, namely pi/2, can be introduced into the two branches. After passing through the quarter-wave plate, the two paths of light are reflected by the plane mirror and then enter the two phase type two-dimensional orthogonal gratings. Assume that a phase type two-dimensional grating used in the first optical branch is as shown in fig. 3 (a). The ratio of the period lengths of the first phase type two-dimensional orthogonal grating in the vertical and horizontal directions is 2: 1, the phase change amount of the light beam by the light gray lattice and the black lattice differs by half a wavelength, the phase corresponding to the black lattice is-pi, and the phase corresponding to the light gray lattice is 0. Fig. 3(b) is a normalized distribution of the absolute value of the complex amplitude of the spectrum of the light field passing through the first phase type two-dimensional orthogonal grating at the lens back focal plane through the first fourier lens, where there are four brightest spots in the central region. The first filter is set to only select the four bright spots (approximately regarded as ideal point light sources) to pass through, the four point light sources passing through the first filter are reflected by the second beam splitter prism and then pass through the third Fourier lens behind, and the CCD can record the light intensity distribution condition of the corresponding light field. Fig. 3(c) is a normalized light intensity distribution of the light field of the first optical branch at the CCD, fig. 3(d) is a corresponding light field phase distribution, the phase difference corresponding to the black lattice and the light gray lattice is half a wavelength, the phase corresponding to the black lattice is-pi, and the phase corresponding to the light gray lattice is 0.
The second phase type two-dimensional orthogonal grating used in the second optical branch is rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the grating used in the first optical branch, and fig. 4(a) shows the second phase type two-dimensional orthogonal grating used in the second optical branch, where the ratio of the period lengths in the vertical and horizontal directions is 1: 2, the phase change amount of the light beam by the light gray lattice and the black lattice differs by half a wavelength, the phase corresponding to the black lattice is-pi, and the phase corresponding to the light gray lattice is 0. Fig. 4(b) is a normalized distribution of the absolute value of the complex amplitude of the frequency spectrum of the light field passing through the second phase type two-dimensional orthogonal grating at the lens back focal plane through the second fourier lens. The second filter is arranged to only select four central bright spots (approximately regarded as ideal point light sources) to pass through, the four point light sources passing through the second filter sequentially penetrate through the second beam splitter prism and the third Fourier lens behind, and the CCD can record the light intensity distribution condition of the corresponding light field. Fig. 4(c) is a normalized light intensity distribution of the light field of the second optical branch at the CCD, and fig. 4(d) is a corresponding light field phase distribution. The phase difference corresponding to the dark gray lattices and the light white lattices is half wavelength, and as the additional phase difference of pi/2 is introduced into the two optical branches through the quarter-wave plate, the phase corresponding to the dark gray lattices is-pi/2, and the phase corresponding to the light white lattices is pi/2.
As can be seen from fig. 3(c), 3(d), 4(c) and 4(d), by adjusting the relative positions of the two phase-type orthogonal gratings, the superposition of the optical fields of the two branches can generate the expected array vortex beam. Fig. 5(a) and 5(b) show normalized intensity distribution and phase distribution of the generated periodic array vortex beam, and it is obvious that the minimum unit of the periodic array vortex beam shown in the figure is 2 × 2 grids. Fig. 5(c) and 5(d) show the intensity distribution and phase distribution of the optical field of the minimum unit, and it can be seen from the diagrams that the directions of increasing the phases of the two vortexes at the diagonal corners of the upper left corner and the lower right corner are clockwise, the topological charge corresponding to the vortexes is +1, and the directions of increasing the phases of the two vortexes at the diagonal corners of the upper right corner and the lower left corner are just opposite and counterclockwise, and the topological charge corresponding to the vortexes is-1. Obviously, by the above method, two vortex beams with topological charge of ± 1 are generated simultaneously.
Example two
When the square array vortex beam generating device is implemented by using two amplitude type two-dimensional orthogonal gratings, the structural form is as shown in fig. 1:
assume that a first amplitude type two-dimensional orthogonal grating used in the first optical branch is as shown in fig. 6 (a). The ratio of the period lengths of the first amplitude type two-dimensional orthogonal grating in both the vertical and horizontal directions is 2: 1, a white grid means completely light transmissive, and a black grid means completely opaque.
Fig. 6(b) is a distribution of absolute values of complex amplitudes of the spectrum of the light field passing through the first amplitude type two-dimensional orthogonal grating at the lens back focal plane through the first fourier lens, where the brightest position in the central region is the zero order, and except for the zero order, four points whose brightness is next to the zero order are located outside the zero order and next to the central zero order, (since the central bright spot is too strong in light intensity, in order to be able to see the other four sub bright spots, fig. 6(b) shows that the absolute values of the normalized complex amplitudes are multiplied by a coefficient 2.
The first filter is arranged to only select four bright spots (approximately regarded as ideal point light sources) with brightness second to the central zero order to pass through, and the four point light sources passing through the first filter are reflected by the second beam splitting prism and then pass through the third Fourier lens, so that the Charge Coupled Device (CCD) can record the light intensity distribution condition of the corresponding light field. Fig. 6(c) is a normalized light intensity distribution of the light field of the first optical branch at the Charge Coupled Device (CCD), fig. 6(d) is a corresponding light field phase distribution, the phase difference corresponding to the black lattice and the light gray lattice is half a wavelength, the phase corresponding to the black lattice is-pi, and the phase corresponding to the light gray lattice is 0.
The amplitude type two-dimensional orthogonal grating used in the second optical branch is rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the grating used in the first optical branch, and fig. 7(a) shows a second amplitude type two-dimensional orthogonal grating used in the second optical branch, in which the ratio of the period lengths in both the vertical and horizontal directions is 1: 2, a white grid means completely light transmissive, and a black grid means completely opaque. Fig. 7(b) shows the distribution of the absolute value of the complex amplitude of the spectrum of the light field passing through the second amplitude type two-dimensional orthogonal grating at the lens back focal plane through the second fourier lens (since the central bright spot is too strong in light intensity, in order to be able to see the other four sub-bright spots, fig. 7(b) shows the absolute value of the normalized complex amplitude multiplied by a factor of 2.
The second filter is arranged to only select four bright spots (approximately regarded as ideal point light sources) with brightness next to the central zero order to pass through, the four point light sources passing through the second filter are transmitted through the second beam splitter prism and the third Fourier lens, and the CCD can record the light intensity distribution condition of the corresponding light field. Fig. 7(c) is a normalized light intensity distribution of the light field of the second optical branch at the CCD, and fig. 7(d) is a corresponding light field phase distribution. The phase difference corresponding to the dark gray lattices and the light white lattices is half wavelength, and as the additional phase difference of pi/2 is introduced into the two optical branches through the quarter-wave plate, the phase corresponding to the dark gray lattices is-pi/2, and the phase corresponding to the light white lattices is pi/2.
Fig. 8(a) and 8(b) are schematic diagrams of the first filter and the second filter, respectively. The white circular hole allows light to pass through.
As can be seen from fig. 6(c), 6(d), 7(c) and 7(d), by adjusting the relative positions of the two orthogonal gratings, the superposition of the optical fields of the two branches can generate the expected array vortex beam.
Fig. 9(a) and 9(b) are respectively the normalized intensity distribution and the phase distribution of the generated periodic array vortex beam, and it is obvious that the minimum unit of the periodic array vortex beam shown in the figure is 2 × 2 grids. Fig. 9(c) and 9(d) respectively show the intensity distribution and the phase distribution of the optical field of the periodic array vortex beam minimum unit, and it can be seen from the diagram that the directions of the phase increases of the two vortices diagonal at the upper left corner and the lower right corner are clockwise, the topological charge corresponding to the vortex is +1, and the directions of the phase increases of the two vortices diagonal at the upper right corner and the lower left corner are just opposite and counterclockwise, and the topological charge corresponding to the vortex is-1.
