Asymmetric Mathieu beams

Not Accessible

Abstract

We report the generation of asymmetric Mathieu beams: invariant intensity optical profiles that can be described by three parameters. The first one describes the amount of ellipticity, the second one takes into account the degree of asymmetry of the profile, and the third parameter denotes the angular position, where it is localized with the respective asymmetry. We propose a simple angular spectrum to generate these nondiffracting beams, and we report how it changes their distribution of power and orbital angular momentum in function with their ellipticity and degree of asymmetry. We confirm the existence of these invariant beams by propagation in an experimental setup.
