3-D analysis of characteristics in fundamental mode Gaussian laser standing wave with straight edge diffraction

Yu-Xin Xiao, Wen-Tao Zhang

Abstract

Based on scalar optical theory, the fundamental mode Gaussian laser standing wave model is built with Fresnel straight edge diffraction effect in the process of laser-focused Cr atoms. By numerical analysis and 3-D simulation on optical potential, characteristics in the laser standing wave are described under the influence of the distances from diffraction edge to mirror and laser medial axis to substrate surface, respectively. The results show that diffractive degree of the laser field will be changed for the substrate placement, and the structure of optical potential will be achieved optimal when the distance from diffraction edge to mirror equals 0.51 cm.
