Crosstalk mitigation of a controllable annular auto-focusing vortex beam array in a turbulent atmosphere.

In this paper, we introduce a new type of controllable auto-focusing vortex beam array named annular quasi-Airy vortex beam array (QAVBA), which can reduce the crosstalk among different orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes of optical vortex. The effects of initial beam parameters of annular QAVBA and propagation conditions on the OAM mode propagation performance are investigated. The results indicate that the topological angle θ, the topological charge m, and the decay parameter α could manipulate the auto-focusing characteristics of annular QAVBA and regulate the crosstalk of OAM modes.

Enhancing the figure of merit of refractive index sensors by magnetoplasmons in nanogratings.

The sensing performance of one-dimensional magnetic nanograting based on magnetoplasmons was investigated. The predictable Kerr reversal and enhancement are achieved in our experiment. The further result shows that the shift of the Kerr null point has a linear relationship with the surrounding refractive index in a wide range.

Enhancement of magneto-optical Faraday effects and extraordinary optical transmission in a tri-layer structure with rectangular annular arrays.

The properties of optics and magneto-optical Faraday effects in a metal-dielectric tri-layer structure with subwavelength rectangular annular arrays are investigated. It is noteworthy that we obtained the strongly enhanced Faraday rotation of the desired sign along with high transmittance by optimizing the parameters of the nanostructure in the visible spectral ranges. In this system, we obtained two extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) resonant peaks with enhanced Faraday rotations, whose signs are opposite, which may provide the possibility of designing multi-channel magneto-optical devices.

[Multiple scattering of visible and infrared light by sea fog over wind driving rough sea surface].

The present paper is concerned with computing the multiple scattering characteristics of a sea fog-sea surface couple system within this context. The single scattering characteristics of sea fog were studied by Mie theory, and the multiple scattering of sunlight by single sea fog layer was studied by radiative transfer theory. The reflection function of a statistically rough ocean surface was obtained using the standard Kirchhoff formulation, with shadowing effects taken into account.
