Degenerate Hypergeometric Function

Here we study asymmetric Kummer beams (aK-beams) with their scalar complex amplitude being proportional to the Kummer function (a degenerate hypergeometric function). These beams are an exact solution of the paraxial propagation equation (Schrödinger-type equation) and obtained from the conventional symmetric hypergeometric beams by a complex shift of the transverse coordinates. On propagation, the aK-beams change their intensity weakly and rotate around the optical axis. These beams are an example of vortex laser beams with a fractional orbital angular momentum (OAM), which depends on four parameters: the vortex topological charge, the shift magnitude, the logarithmic axicon parameter and the degree of the radial factor. Changing these parameters, it is possible to control the beam OAM, either continuously increasing or decreasing it.

Abstract Laguerre–Gaussian-like laser beams have been proposed for driving experiments with high-intensity lasers. They carry orbital angular momentum and exhibit a ring-shaped intensity distribution in the far field which make them particularly attractive for various applications. We show experimentally and numerically that this donut-like shape is extremely sensitive to off-axis wavefront deformations. To support our claim, we generate a Laguerre–Gaussian-like laser beam and apply a selection of common low-order wavefront aberrations. We investigate the visibility of those wavefront deformations in the far field. Under use of established tolerance criteria, we determine the thresholds for the applied aberration and compare the findings with simulations for verification.
