Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The spatial distribution and polarization state of the vector beam and the phase distribution of the azimuth direction are added to the numerical calculation code of the nonlinear wave equation for second harmonic generation corresponding to the Hermitian Gaussian beam.The basic numerical analysis means necessary for theoretical and numerical analysis of nonlinear optics with vector beams of complex polarization states are established. In addition, a twin Young-Michelson interferometer in which two Michelson interferometers are three-dimensionally configured with the same optical system is proposed. As a measurement accuracy, stable wavefront measurement of 1 nm or less has become possible with the twin Michelson interferometer.
