By considering parity-defined Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) and Hermite-Gaussian (HG) beams as input modes, we present arguments through experimental and theoretical results in order to affirm that using HG modes as bases is more suitable for optical mode conversion than using LG modes. By analyzing the normalized overlap integral and the generated modes, we determine a dear rule for the dominant mode for nonlinear mixing of HG beams, while the same is not possible for LG beams. In addition, examples of optical modal conversion using both HG and LG modes as input beams are demonstrated. (C) 2020 Optical Society of America

A function of global monitoring of nuclear explosions is the development of Earth models for predicting seismic travel times for more accurate calculation of event locations. Most monitoring agencies rely on fast, distance-dependent one-dimensional (1D) Earth models to calculate seismic event locations quickly and in near real-time. RSTT (Regional Seismic Travel Time) is a seismic velocity model and computer software package that captures the major effects of three-dimensional crust and upper mantle structure on regional seismic travel times, while still allowing for fast prediction speed (milliseconds). We describe updates to the RSTT model using a refined data set of regional phases (i.e., Pn, Pg, Sn, Lg) using the Bayesloc relative relocation algorithm. The tomographic inversion shown here acts to refine the previous RSTT public model (rstt201404um) and displays significant features related to areas of global tectonic complexity as well as further reduction in arrival residual values. Validation of the updated RSTT model demonstrates significant reduction in median epicenter mislocation (15.3 km) using all regional phases compared to the iasp91 1D model (22.1 km) as well as to the current station correction approach used at the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization International Data Centre (18.9 km).
