Observation of the Gouy phase anomaly in astigmatic beams

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The Gouy phase anomaly, well established for stigmatic beams, is validated here for astigmatic beams. We simulate the predicted Gouy phase anomaly near astigmatic foci using a beam propagation algorithm integrated within lens design software. We then compare computational results with experimental data acquired using a modified Mertz–Sagnac interferometer. Both in simulation and in experiment, results show that a π/2-phase change occurs as the beam passes through each of the astigmatic foci, experimentally validating results derived in a recent paper by Visser and Wolf [Opt. Commun. 283, 3371–3375 (2010) [CrossRef]  ].
