Dynamic evolution of an edge dislocation through aligned and misaligned paraxial optical ABCD systems.
The closed-form propagation expressions of an edge dislocation nested in a general elliptical Gaussian beam through aligned and misaligned paraxial optical ABCD systems are derived and used to study the dynamic evolution behavior of the edge dislocation propagating in free space and through a misaligned lens. It is shown that the noncanonical vortex and dynamic inversion of the topological charge, as well as a new edge dislocation may appear under certain conditions. The results are illustrated analytically and numerically.
