A detailed statistical representation of the local structure of optical vortices in random wavefields

Lindgren, Georg LU orcid (2012) In Journal of Optics 14(3).
Abstract
The statistical properties near phase singularities in a complex wave

field are here studied by means of the conditional distributions of the real and imaginary Gaussian components, given a common zero crossing point. The exact distribution is expressed as a Slepian model, where a regression term provides the main structure, with parameters given by the gradients of the Gaussian components at the singularity, and Gaussian non-stationary residuals that provide local variability. This technique differs from the linearisation (Taylor expansion) technique commonly used.



The empirically and theoretically verified elliptic eccentricity of the intensity contours in the vortex core is a property of the regression term,... (More)

The exact distribution is expressed as a Slepian model, where a regression term provides the main structure, with parameters given by the gradients of the Gaussian components at the singularity, and Gaussian non-stationary residuals that provide local variability. This technique differs from the linearisation (Taylor expansion) technique commonly used.



The empirically and theoretically verified elliptic eccentricity of the intensity contours in the vortex core is a property of the regression term, but with different normalization compared to the classical theory. The residual term models the statistical variability around these ellipses. The radii of the circular contours of the current magnitude are similarly modified by the new regression expansion, and also here the random deviations are modelled by the residual field. (Less)
