A model of an annular fiat-topped vortex beam based on multi-Gaussian superimposition is proposed. We experimentally produce this beam with a computer-generated hologram （CGH） displayed on a spatial light modulator （SLM）. The power of the beam is concentrated on a single-ring structure and has an extremely strong radial intensity gradient. This beam facilitates various applications ranging from Sisyphus atom cooling to micro-particle trapping.
The N＋H2 reaction has attracted a great deal of attention from both the experimental and the theoretical community, and most of the attention has been paid to the first excited state N （2 D） atoms in collisions with hydrogen molecules and the scalar properties of the reaction. In this paper, we study the stereo dynamical properties and calculate the reaction cross sections of the N（4S） ＋ H2 （v=0, j=0, 2, 5, 10） → NH（X3∑-） ＋ H using the quasi-classical trajectory （QCT） method on an accurate NH2 potential energy surface （PES） reported by Poveda and Varandas [Poveda L A and Varandas A J C 2005 Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 7 28671, in a collision energy range of 25 kcal.mol-1 -140 kcal.mol-1. Results indicate that the reactant rotational excitation and initial collision energy both have a considerable influence on the distributions of the k-j＇ correlation, the k-k＇-j＇ correlation and k-k＇ correlation. The differential cross section is found to be sensitive to collision energy.
