I have implemented the Hermite-Gaussian function in matlab for producing different modes. The light beam along z direction can be seen as a complex matrix in the plane.
The function for HG modes is as below.
%Hermite polynomial
function hk = HermitePoly(n)
if n==0
hk = 1;
elseif n==1
hk = [2 0];
else
hkm2 = zeros(1,n+1);
hkm2(n+1) = 1;
hkm1 = zeros(1,n+1);
hkm1(n) = 2;
for k=2:n
hk = zeros(1,n+1);
for e=n-k+1:2:n
hk(e) = 2*(hkm1(e+1) - (k-1)*hkm2(e));
end
hk(n+1) = -2*(k-1)*hkm2(n+1);
if k<n
hkm2 = hkm1;
hkm1 = hk;
end
end
end
% this is the function of HG modes in z position.
function [HGBeam,X,Y] = Hermite_Gaussian(N,hx,hy,w0,delta,lamda,z)
[X Y]=meshgrid((-N/2:N/2-1)*delta);
[theta,rad] = cart2pol(X,Y);
k=2*pi/lamda;
zr=pi*w0^2/lamda;
wz=w0*sqrt(1+(z/zr)^2);
qz=z+1i*zr;
q0=1i*zr;
if z==0
rz=Inf;
else
rz=z*(1+(zr/z)^2);
end
AmpLGB=sqrt(2/(2^(hx+hy)*pi*factorial(hx)*factorial(hy)*w0^2)).*(q0/qz).*(-conj(qz)/qz)^((hx+hy)/2).*exp(-(rad.*rad)/(wz)^2).*polyval(HermitePoly(hx),sqrt(2)*X/wz).*polyval(HermitePoly(hy),sqrt(2)*Y/wz);
PsLGB=exp(-1i*(k*(rad.*rad)/(2*rz)+k*z-(hx+hy+1)*atan(z/zr)));
HGBeam=AmpLGB.*PsLGB;
end
Now I plot one example for HG(2,0) as the following (example1):
clc
clear all;
close all;
lambda=809e-9; % optical wavelength
w0=0.025; %optical beam waist 15mm
k=2*pi/lambda; % optical wavenumber
Zr=pi*w0^2/lambda; % Rayleigh range
z0=0; % start position z=0; but careful 0*Inf is undefined, here 0*Inf=NAN
N=1024; % samples/side length at source plane
D1=0.25; % side length [m] at source plane
delta1=D1/N; % grid spacing [m]
x1=-D1/2:delta1:D1/2-delta1; % source plane x and y coordinates
y1=x1;
%% HG modes
HGx=2;
HGy=0;
HGintheory=Hermite_Gaussian(N,HGx,HGy,w0,delta1,lambda,z0);
h7=figure(7);
imagesc(x1,y1,abs(HGintheory).^2);
title(sprintf('z=%d; HG(%d,%d)',z0,HGx,HGy))
xlabel('x (m)'); ylabel('y (m)');
The plot of the light field will be as the following picture in the left side (its intensity):
We can use rot90()
function to rotate matrix HGintheory
(which is add one line code: HGintheory=rot90(HGintheory);
) and then the field will rotate 90 degree (right side of the intensity plot).
Because I want to work with the light field. So the question is how can I rotate the complex matrix
HGintheory
in arbitrary angle? For example 45 degree?
Does anyone knows how to rotate a complex matrix with big size? If something is wrong or unclear, please pointing out and Thank you in advance!

You can decompose your complex field into two real fields (amplitude and phase), rotate both with imrotate
, and combine them afterwards pixel-wise
Hamp=abs(HGintheory);
Hphase=angle(HGintheory);
RotAngle=45;
HampRot=imrotate(Hamp,RotAngle,'bilinear','crop');
HphaseRot=imrotate(Hphase,RotAngle,'bilinear','crop');
HfullRot=HampRot.*exp(1i*HphaseRot);
figure(1);
imagesc(x1,y1,abs(HGintheory).^2);
figure(2);
imagesc(x1,y1,abs(HfullRot).^2);

You can rotate your initial meshgrid using:
[X,Y] = meshgrid(x1,y1)
xyc = [mean(x1), mean(y1)];
angel = 45;
R = [cosd(angel), -sind(angel); sind(angel), cosd(angel)];
XY = xyc' + R * ([X(:) Y(:)]-xyc)';
XR = reshape(XY(1,:),size(X));
YR = reshape(XY(2,:),size(Y));
and then use those transformed coordinates to plot:
imagesc(XR,YR,IntensityHGin);
