Laser Beam Shaping Using a Photoinduced Azopolymer Droplet-Based Mask

The dewetting of an azopolymer droplet, followed by the photostructuration of the evaporated droplet, is employed to create an amplitude mask. This straightforward process yields a large area featuring periodic micro- and nanostructures. The resulting pattern is utilized to generate a nondiffracting beam. Starting with a Gaussian beam illuminating the amplitude mask, the critical aspect is the production of a bright, ring-shaped beam with a high radius-to-width ratio and symmetric central laser spots, each with the same intensity. This alternative approach to shaping a laser beam is demonstrated as a rapid and cost-effective fabrication technique.

Wavelet entropy of stochastic processes

We compare two different definitions for the wavelet entropy associated to stochastic processes. The first one, the Normalized Total Wavelet Entropy (NTWS) family [Phys. Rev. E 57 (1998) 932; J. Neuroscience Method 105 (2001) 65; Physica A (2005) in press] and a second introduced by Tavares and Lucena [Physica A 357 (2005)~71]. In order to understand their advantages and disadvantages, exact results obtained for fractional Gaussian noise (-1<alpha< 1) and the fractional Brownian motion (1 < alpha < 3) are assessed. We find out that NTWS family performs better as a characterization method for these stochastic processes.
