요약 | The term "structured light" is used to refer to light having nontrivial and interesting intensity, phase and/or polarization distributions. This concept has been at the center of research efforts ranging from quantum optics to biophysics. It is therefore important to propose theoretical models that highlight the main properties of such fields, e. g. their angular spread, polarization structure and orbital angular momentum content, to facilitate their understanding as well as their design. Throughout this thesis, several geometrical models are used to study structured light, from the paraxial scalar to the nonparaxial electromagnetic regimes. These models provide us with abstract spaces in which optical fields can be represented in an intuitive way.We start by studying self-similar structured-Gaussian (SG) beams through operator and ray-based formalisms. These two complementary approaches lead to distinct geometrical representations on the modal Poincare sphere (MPS): the operator formalism leads to the Majorana constellation, which represents an SG beam by a collection of points on the surface of the MPS |
