Abstract:
The evolution of the incoherent superposition of two nonparaxial Gaussian beams carried a
C-dipole was theoretically and numerically studied. The results show that the position and degree of polarization of two
C-points may change with variation of the relevant parameters. The slope of the axis of the
C-dipole increases monotonically with propagation. For the case of non-paraxial beams, creation and annihilation of
C-dipoles occur as the beams propagate to 0.01
zR and 10.39
zR, respectively. At the plane
z=
zR, the creation and annihilation of
C-points respectively occurs when the waist width increases to 0.222μm and 0.56μm. Besides, the creation and annihilation of
C-points may take place with variation of the off-axis parameter and the wavelength of the host nonparaxial beams. The results would be useful for deeply understanding singular optics and seeking for their potential applications.
