Tamm plasmon Photonic Crystals : from Bandgap Engineering to Defect Cavity

Lydie Ferrier, Hai Son Nguyen, Cécile Jamois +4

We report for the first time the bandgap engineering of Tamm plasmon photonic crystals - Tamm plasmon structures of which the metalic layer is periodically patterned into lattice o…

An intuitive approach to structuring the three polarization components of light

F. Maucher, S. Skupin, S. A. Gardiner +1

This paper presents intuitive interpretations of tightly focused beams of light by drawing analogies to two-dimensional electrostatics, magnetostatics and fluid dynamics. We use a…

Modifications of filament spectra by shaped octave-spanning laser pulses

Alexander Patas, Mary Matthews, Sylvain Hermelin +4

In this paper we examine the spectral changes in a white light laser filament due to different pulse shapes generated by a pulse shaping setup. We particularly explore how the prop…

Maxwell-consistent, symmetry- and energy-preserving solutions for ultrashort laser pulse propagation beyond the paraxial approximation

P. González de Alaiza Martínez, G. Duchateau, B. Chimier +4

We analytically and numerically investigate the propagation of ultrashort tightly focused laser pulses in vacuum, with particular emphasis on Hermite-Gaussian and Laguerre-Gaussian…

Maximizing energy deposition by shaping few-cycle laser pulses

Julien Gateau, Alexander Patas, Mary Matthews +4

We experimentally investigate the impact of pulse shape on the dynamics of laser-generated plasma in rare gases. Fast-rising triangular pulses with a slower decay lead to early ion…

All-optical attoclock for imaging tunnelling wavepackets

I. Babushkin, A. J. Galan, J. R. C. Andrade +18

Recent experiments on measuring time-delays during tunnelling of cold atoms through an optically created potential barrier are reinvigorating the controversial debate regarding pos…

Creating Complex Optical Longitudinal Polarization Structures

F. Maucher, S. Skupin, S. A. Gardiner +1

In this paper we show that it is possible to structure the longitudinal polarization component of light. We illustrate our approach by demonstrating linked and knotted longitudinal…
