摘要:
研究了球形粒子在聚焦拉盖尔-高斯光束中的散射特性.根据广义Mie理论,推导出球形粒子在聚焦拉盖尔-高斯光束中散射系数的解析公式.针对光束的电场分布及粒子散射强度进行了数值仿真,讨论了散射强度随散射角、散射球粒子半径和拓扑荷的变化特性,并通过散射系数解释了散射强度分布的振荡现象.结果表明,在聚焦拉盖尔-高斯光束照射下,球形粒子的后向散射强度随着粒子半径的增大而逐渐增大;后向散射强度开始增大时对应的粒子半径与拓扑荷有关.通过与高斯光束的对比,可以看出球形粒子在聚焦拉盖尔-高斯光束中散射特性的差异,使其在粒径测量、光通信和大气后向散射探测等方面具有潜在应用价值.
Abstract:
Scattering of the focused Laguerre-Gaussian beams by a spherical particle is performed.According to the generalized Mie theory, the scattering coefficient expressions are gained.From the numerical simulations of the electric field distribution and scattering intensity of the focused Laguerre-Gaussian beams,the scattering intensities are discussed or different scattering angles,radii of spherical particles and topology changes,and the oscillatory behavior of the scattered intensity distribution is explained by the scattering coefficients.The results show that in the focused Laguerre-Gaussian beams,the backscattering intensity increases with the particle radius;and the particle radius when the scattering intensity begins to increase is related to the topological charge.Comparing with the Gaussian beams,we can see that the focuced Laguerre-Gaussian beams have different the scattering characteristics,so they have potential value for particle size measurement,optical communication,atmospheric backscattering detection,etc.
