Abstract
Ring or conical light beams show great potential in many applications. We report on achievement of multi-ring-shaped conical beams through degenerated optical parametric generation (OPG) with tightly focused Gaussian pump beam in periodic polarized lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal. We observed continuous beam spatial pattern variation from multi to single ring and normal non-hollow beams by crystal temperature tuning. We attributed the experimental results to the effective polarized period changing under tightly focusing. This unique feature would exist in any quasi-phase matching processes and may find applications in optical trapping, manipulation, and even quantum field.
