Over the last twenty years, diode pumping of solid-state lasers has opened new prospects
for the mode control and formation of Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beams, enabling a large …

Structured light beams that are tailored for purpose have found a myriad of applications,
from improved efficiency of laser-based industrial manufacturing processes to enhanced …

Most laser applications are based on the focusing of a Gaussian laser beam (GLB). When
the latter is subject to a phase aberration such as the optical Kerr effect (OKE) or spherical …

Usually, optical tweezers are based on the focusing a Gaussian laser beam giving rise to a
diffraction-limited spot. An alternative has been proposed by several authors which consists …

In recent years, considerable attention has been devoted to laser beams with specific
intensity profile, ie, non-Gaussian. In this work, we present a novel technique to generate …

We have considered the negative influence of spherical aberrations (SA) on longitudinal
and transversal forces occurring in optical tweezers based on a focused Gaussian beam …

A novel technique to improve the focus depth of a Gaussian beam is presented in this paper.
The improvement is based on two-step beam shaping using a cascade of binary phase …

We theoretically analyzed the relationship between quantum Green's functions of two-
dimensional harmonic oscillators and radial-order Laguerre–Gaussian laser modes of …

The quality factor of a partially coherent Airy beam in a turbulent atmosphere is investigated
with the help of the extended Huygens–Fresnel integral formula and the Wigner distribution …

The cosine Gaussian beam (CGB) resulting from the coherent coaxial superposition of two
Gaussian beams having the same width W and opposite radii of curvature R and− R is a …
