Partially Coherent Bottle Beams

LI Qing-hong

The generation of the partially coherent bottle beam is investigated.It is shown that the partially coherent bottle beams can be achieved by focusing the partially coherent light with an axicon-lens system.The influence of the spatial coherence of the incident partially coherent light as well as the distance between the focusing lens and the axicon on the size of the bottle beams is investigated.We find that the larger the spatial coherence is,the larger is the size of the resultant bottle beams and the increment of the distance between the focusing lens and the axicon results in the decrease of the size of the bottle beams.This provides a facile approach for generating adjustable partially coherent bottle beams.This kind of partially coherent bottle beams may have applications in atom optics,such as in atom trapping and atom guiding etc.The generation of the partially coherent bottle beam is investigated.It is shown that the partially coherent bottle beams can be achieved by focusing the partially coherent light with an axicon-lens system.The influence of the spatial coherence of the incident partially coherent light as well as the distance between the focusing lens and the axicon on the size of the bottle beams is investigated.We find that the larger the spatial coherence is,the larger is the size of the resultant bottle beams and the increment of the distance between the focusing lens and the axicon results in the decrease of the size of the bottle beams.This provides a facile approach for generating adjustable partially coherent bottle beams.This kind of partially coherent bottle beams may have applications in atom optics,such as in atom trapping and atom guiding etc.

Generation of adjustable partially coherent bottle beams by use of an axicon-lens system

Jixiong Pu, Meimei Dong, Tao Wang

We report, what is to our knowledge, the first experimental realization of partially coherent bottle beams. It is shown that partially coherent bottle beams can be achieved by the focusing of partially coherent light with an axicon-lens system. The influence of the spatial coherence of the incident partially coherent light and other parameters, such as the radius of the limiting aperture of the axicon and the distance between the axicon and the lens, on the size of the bottle beams is investigated. We find that the longer the spatial coherence length, the larger the size of the resultant bottle beams. This dependence of the size of the bottle beams on the spatial coherence of the incident light provides a facile approach for generating adjustable partially coherent bottle beams. This kind of partially coherent bottle beam may have applications in atom optics, such as in atom trapping and atom guiding, etc.We report, what is to our knowledge, the first experimental realization of partially coherent bottle beams.
