| الوصف: | Paraxial beam modes, which propagate in space and focus without changing their transverse intensity pattern, are of great value for multiplexing transmitted data in optical communications, both in waveguides and in free space. The best-known paraxial modes are the Hermite-Gaussian and Laguerre-Gaussian beams. Here, we derive explicit analytical expressions for Ince-Gaussian (IG) beams for several first values of the indices p = 3, 4, 5, and 6. In total, we obtain expressions for the amplitudes of 24 IG beams. These formulae are written as superpositions of the Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) or Hermite-Gaussian (HG) beams, with the superposition coefficients explicitly depending on the ellipticity parameter. Due to simultaneous representation of the IG modes via the LG and HG modes, it is easy to obtain the IG modes in the limiting cases wherein the ellipticity parameter is zero or approaches infinity. The explicit dependence of the obtained expressions for the IG modes on the ellipticity parameter makes it possible to change the intensity pattern at the beam cross-section by continuously varying the parameter values. For the first time, the intensity distributions of the IG beams are obtained for negative values of the ellipticity parameter. The obtained expressions could facilitate a theoretical analysis of properties of the IG modes and could find practical applications in the numerical simulation or generation of such beams with a liquid-crystal spatial light modulator. |
