Numerical simulation for symmetric diffraction patterns of 8-hydroxyquinolin-1-ium 4-aminobenzenesulfonate

Abstract:

We reported the formation of diffraction ring patterns induced by transmitted Gaussian laser beam through 8-hydroxyquinolin-1-ium 4-aminobenzenesulfonate (8HQABS) solution as absorbing medium. Theoretical model depending on the Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction (FKD) theory was used to generate diffraction rings with respect to the sample position. Analysis of the generated diffraction rings shows a reasonable agreement between the features of the experimental and numerical diffraction rings. Our results are considered to be useful to understand the way of propagation and interaction of laser beam with liquid absorbing medium.
