摘要: Analytical propagation expression of a super Lorentz--Gauss (SLG)01 mode in uniaxial crystal orthogonal to the optical axis is derived. The SLG01 mode propagating in uniaxial crystal orthogonal to the optical axis mainly depends on the ratio of the extraordinary refractive index to the ordinary refractive index. The SLG01 mode propagating in uniaxial crystals becomes an astigmatic beam. The beam spot of the SLG01 mode in the uniaxial crystal is elongated in the x-or y-direction, which is determined by the ratio of the extraordinary refractive index to the ordinary refractive index. With the increase of the deviation of the ratio of the extraordinary refractive index to the ordinary refractive index from unity, the elongation of the beam spot also augments. In different observation planes, the phase distribution of an SLG01 mode in the uniaxial crystal takes on different shapes. With the variation of the ratio of the extraordinary refractive index to the ordinary refractive index, the phase distribution is elongated in one transversal direction and is contracted in the other perpendicular direction. This research is beneficial to the practical applications of an SLG mode.
