Spatio-spectral analysis of ultrashort vortex pulses by radial meta-moments — •Max Liebmann1, Alexander Treffer1, Martin Bock1, Thomas Seiler2, Thomas Elsaesser1, and Ruediger Grunwald1 — 1Max Born Institut for Nonlinear Optics and Short-Pulse Spectroscopy, Berlin — 2FernUniversität Hagen, Optische Nachrichtentechnik, Hagen, Germany
The propagation-dependent spectral structure of ultrashort-pulsed wavepackets with orbital angular moment was characterized by high-resolution and high sensitivity spatially resolved spectroscopy and adapted statistical tools. In particular, a rotation of extremal spectral features around the singularity was observed which is explained by a Gouy phase shift (spectral Gouy rotation [1]). A more complex oscillatory behavior is revealed by advanced statistical tools on the basis of spectral meta-moments [2]. The analysis of radially and azimuthally dependent meta-moments enables to adequately describe fast variations in shape and size of spectral maps like symmetry break and spiral distortion. The propagation time interval for a complete switching between minimum and maximum spatial diameter of the spectral peaks was found to be < 34 fs.
