摘要: This paper studies in detail the interaction of two edge dislocations nested in a Gaussian beam propagating in free space. It shows that in free-space propagation the edge dislocations are unstable and vanish, and two noncanonical vortices with opposite topological charge take place when off-axis distances c1 and c2 of two edge dislocations are non-zero, and the condition k2w08+32c1c2(w02-2c1c2)z2>0 is fulfilled (k-wave number, w0-waist width). A noncanonical vortex appears when one off-axis distance is zero. However, one edge dislocation is stable when two edge dislocations are perpendicular and one off-axis distance is zero. Two perpendicular edge dislocations both with zero off-axis distance are also stable. The analytical results are illustrated by numerical examples.

Abstract: This paper studies in detail the interaction of two edge dislocations nested in a Gaussian beam propagating in free space. It shows that in free-space propagation the edge dislocations are unstable and vanish, and  two noncanonical vortices with opposite topological charge take place when off-axis distances $c_{1}$ and $c_{2}$ of two edge dislocations are non-zero, and the condition $k^{2}w_{0}^{8}+32c_{1}c_{2}(w_{0}^{2}-2c_{1}c_{2})z^{2}>0$ is fulfilled ($k$-wave number, $w_{0}$-waist width). A noncanonical vortex appears when one off-axis distance is zero. However, one edge dislocation is stable when  two edge dislocations are perpendicular and one off-axis distance is zero. Two perpendicular edge dislocations both with zero off-axis distance are also stable. The analytical results are illustrated by numerical examples.
