Fine Structure of Optical Vortices in Linearly Polarized Laguerre–Gaussian Beams in Oblique Beams Propagating a Uniaxial Crystal
Traditional ideas about linearly polarized paraxial beam propagation along the optical axis of a uniaxial crystal suggest that at the crystal exit face, after propagation through the polarizer, the beam will form an intensity distribution in the form of a conoscopic pattern. Any violation of axial p...

| description | Traditional ideas about linearly polarized paraxial beam propagation along the optical axis of a uniaxial crystal suggest that at the crystal exit face, after propagation through the polarizer, the beam will form an intensity distribution in the form of a conoscopic pattern. Any violation of axial propagation was considered as a perturbation of the conoscopic pattern and was not taken into account. Nevertheless, this process opens up a wide variety of transformations of polarization singularities caused by weak perturbations. In this article, the behavior of linearly polarized low-order Laguerre–Gauss beams in a uniaxial crystal is considered. The existence of a fine structure of radiation on the output face of a uniaxial crystal and the dependence of this fine structure on the parameters of the crystal and the beam are shown. |
