1. INTRODUCTION

Due to the highly angular spreading, Lorentz-Gauss beams providea better beam model than Gaussian beams to describe the radiationemitted by a single mode diode laser [1, 2]. A special case of Lorentz-Gauss beams is the Lorentz beam. The relation between Lorentzbeams and relativistic Hermite polynomials has been investigated [3].

The focusing properties of the linearly polarized Lorentz beam withsine-azimuthal variation of wavefront have been studied [4]. A super-Lorentzian beam can be constructed using Lorentz beams as a basis [5].The effect of Kerr nonlinearity on the Lorentz beam has been examinedusing the nonlinear Schroinger equation [6]. The beam propagationfactor [7] and the Wigner distribution function [8] of Lorentz-Gaussbeams have been derived. Propagation of Lorentz-Gauss beams infree space [9], in uniaxial crystals orthogonal to the optical axis [10],and through an apertured fractional Fourier transformation opticalsystem [11] has also been examined, respectively. The virtual sourcefor generation of the rotationally symmetric Lorentz-Gauss beam hasbeen identified [12]. The Lorentz-Gauss beam can be used to trapthe particles of refractive index larger than that of the ambient [13].Recently, Lorentz-Gauss beams have been extended to the partiallycoherent case [14].

When the radiation emitted by a single mode diode laser goesthrough a spiral phase plate, it becomes a Lorentz-Gauss vortex beam.The phase of the Lorentz-Gauss vortex beam can be easily modulatedby the spiral phase plate. The advantage of the Lorentz-Gauss vortexbeam over the Loretnz-Gauss beam is that the former has a twistedphase front and zero intensity in the center region of the beam profile.Owing to carrying the orbital angular momentum, the Lorentz-Gaussvortex beam has potential application in the fields of optical trapping,optical guiding, optical micro-manipulation, nonlinear optics, quantuminformation processing, etc. [15–23]. Analytical expressions for thethree components of the nonparaxial propagation of a Lorentz-Gaussvortex beam in uniaxial crystals orthogonal to the optical axis havebeen derived, and the intensity and the phase distributions of the threecomponents have been shown by numerical examples [24]. Focusingproperties of the linearly polarized Lorentz-Gauss beam with oneon-axis optical vortex has been investigated by means of the vectordiffraction theory [25]. Due to the crucial applications in opticalcommunications and remote sensing, the average intensity and thespreading properties of various kinds of laser beams including theLorentz and the Lorentz-Gauss beams in the turbulent atmospherehave been extensively investigated [26–35]. However, to the best ofour knowledge the propagation of a Lorentz-Gauss vortex beam in theturbulent atmosphere has not been reported. In the remainder of thispaper, therefore, the propagation of a Lorentz-Gauss vortex beam isexamined in the turbulent atmosphere. Analytical formulae of theaverage intensity, the effective beam size, and the kurtosis parameterare derived by means of the mathematical techniques.

In the Cartesian coordinate system, the z-axis is taken to be thepropagation axis. The Lorentz-Gauss vortex beam in the source planez = 0 takes the form of

where r0 = x0ex + y0ey. ex and ey are the two transverse unit vectorsin the Cartesian coordinate system, respectively. w0x and w0y are theparameters related to the beam widths of the Lorentz part in the x-and y-directions, respectively. w0 is the waist of the Gaussian part.M denotes the topological charge and is assumed to be positive. Thetime dependent factor exp(−iωt) is omitted in the Eq. (1), and ωis the angular frequency. Here, we consider the simplest case of theLorentz-Gauss vortex beam namely M = 1. The Lorentz distributioncan be expanded into the linear superposition of Hermite-Gaussianfunctions [36]:

The analytical formulae of the average intensity, the effective beamsize, and the kurtosis parameter of a Lorentz-Gauss vortex beam in theturbulent atmosphere are complicated. However, with increasing theeven number 2m, the value of a2m decreases dramatically compared toa0 = 0.7399 and a2 = 0.9298×10−2. When m = 5, a10 = 0.3008×10−6.Therefore, N will not be large in the calculations with acceptableaccuracy. Therefore, the calculations of the average intensity, theeffective beam size, and the kurtosis parameter are convenient andfast using software like Mathematica.

3. NUMERICAL CALCULATIONS AND ANALYSES

The spreading properties of a Lorentz-Gauss vortex beam in theturbulent atmosphere are numerically calculated using the formulaederived above. Figs. 1–3 represent the normalized average intensitydistribution of a Lorentz-Gauss vortex beam at several differentpropagation distances in the turbulent atmosphere. The parameterschosen in calculations are: λ = 0.8µm and C2

n = 10−14 m−2/3. Thereference planes are z = 0.2 km, 1 km, 2 km, and 5 km, respectively.The beam parameters of the Lorentz-Gauss vortex beam can be dividedinto three following cases: the waist of the Gaussian part beinglarger than the beam widths of the Lorentz part, the waist of theGaussian part being smaller than the beam widths of the Lorentzpart, and the waist of the Gaussian part being equal to the beamwidths of the Lorentz part. Therefore, Figs. 1–3 correspond to the

above three cases. Due to the isotropic influence of the atmosphereturbulence, the normalized average intensity in the central regiongradually increases and finally becomes the maximum value withincreasing the propagation distance z. When the propagation distancez is an appropriate value, the Lorentz-Gauss vortex beam in theturbulent atmosphere will become a flattened beam spot. When thepropagation distance z is large enough, the beam spot of the Lorentz-Gauss vortex beam tends to be a Gaussian-like distribution. Amongthe three cases the spreading of the Lorentz-Gauss vortex beam withw0 = w0x = w0y = 1 cm is the largest, and the spreading of theLorentz-Gauss vortex beam with w0 = 2 cm and w0x = w0y = 1 cm isthe smallest. The spreading of the Lorentz-Gauss vortex beam withw0 = 1 cm and w0x = w0y = 2 cm is moderate. The reason is that thespreading of the Lorentz distribution in the turbulent atmosphere ishigher than that of the Gaussian distribution.

Figure 4 shows the normalized intensity distributions in the y-direction of Lorentz-Gauss vortex beams at different propagationdistances in the turbulent atmosphere. The solid, the short dashed,and the dotted curves correspond to w0 = 2 cm and w0x = w0y = 1 cm,w0 = 1 cm and w0x = w0y = 2 cm, and w0 = w0x = w0y = 1 cm,respectively. With increasing the propagation distance z, the vale inthe normalized intensity distribution in the y-direction of a Lorentz-Gauss vortex beam gradually rises and finally disappears. The risingspeed of the vale in the case of w0 = 2 cm and w0x = w0y = 1 cm isthe fastest, and the rising speed of the vale in the case of w0 = w0x =w0y = 1 cm is the slowest. It seems that the rising speed of the vale isopposite to the spreading of the beam spot. It exhibits similar behaviorin the x-direction to the y-direction. To further explore the spreadingproperty of a Lorentz-Gauss vortex beam in the turbulent atmosphere,the effective beam size in the x-direction of a Lorentz-Gauss vortex

beam versus the propagation distance z in the turbulent atmosphere isdepicted in Fig. 5. As we consider the most common case of w0x = w0y,the effective beam size in the x-direction is equal to that in the y-direction. Therefore, only the effective beam size in the x-direction istaken into account. With the same w0, the Lorentz-Gauss vortex beamwith the smaller w0x spreads more rapidly. With the same w0x, theLorentz-Gauss vortex beam with the smaller w0 spreads more quickly.The kurtosis parameter in the x-direction of a Lorentz-Gauss vortexbeam versus the propagation distance z in the turbulent atmosphere is

The kurtosis parameter in the x-direction undergoesthe following process: with increasing the propagation distance z, thekurtosis parameter in the x-direction first decreases to the minimumvalue, then increases, and finally tends to be a saturated value. Underthe condition of having the same w0, Kx in the reference plane close tothe source plane decreases by increasing the beam widths of the Lorentzpart.

the propagation distance is relatively large, Kx first decreases and thenincreases by increasing the beam widths of the Lorentz part. Underthe condition of having the same w0x and w0y, Kx in the referenceplane close to the source plane increases by increasing the waist of theGaussian part. When the propagation distance is relatively large, Kx

also increases by increasing the waist of the Gaussian part.

4. CONCLUSIONS

Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel integral and the expansion ofLorentz distribution into Hermite-Gaussian functions, the analyticalexpressions of the average intensity, the effective beam size, and thekurtosis parameter of a Lorentz-Gauss vortex beam are derived inthe turbulent atmosphere, respectively. The spreading propertiesof a Lorentz-Gauss vortex beam in the turbulent atmosphere arenumerically calculated and analyzed. Upon propagation in theturbulent atmosphere, the normalized average intensity in the centralregion of the Lorentz-Gauss vortex beam gradually increases. Atcertain value of the propagation distance z, the Lorentz-Gauss vortexbeam in the turbulent atmosphere becomes a flattened beam spot.When the propagation distance z is large enough, the beam spot of theLorentz-Gauss vortex beam tends to be a Gaussian-like distribution.The rising speed of the vale in the normalized average intensitydistribution is opposite to the spreading of the beam spot in threedifferent cases of beam widths of Gaussian part and Lorentz part.With the same w0, the Lorentz-Gauss vortex beam with the smallerw0x spreads more rapidly. With the same w0x, the Lorentz-Gaussvortex beam with the smaller w0 spreads more quickly. The kurtosisparameter undergoes the following process: with increasing thepropagation distance z, the kurtosis parameter first decreases to theminimum value, then increases, and finally tends to be a saturatedvalue. This research is beneficial to optical communications and remotesensing that are involved in the single mode diode laser devices.
