4 X 20 Gbit/s mode division multiplexing over free space using vector modes and a q-plate mode (de)multiplexer

Giovanni Milione, Martin P. J. Lavery, Hao Huang +8

Vector modes are spatial modes that have spatially inhomogeneous states of polarization, such as, radial and azimuthal polarization. They can produce smaller spot sizes and stronge…

Towards an optical far-field measurement of higher-order multipole contributions to the scattering response of nanoparticles

Thomas Bauer, Sergej Orlov, Gerd Leuchs +1

We experimentally show an all-optical multipolar decomposition of the lowest-order Eigenmodes of a single gold nanoprism using azimuthally and radially polarized cylindrical vector…

Measuring the Transverse Spin Density of Light

Martin Neugebauer, Thomas Bauer, Andrea Aiello +1

We generate tightly focused optical vector beams whose electric fields spin around an axis transverse to the beams' propagation direction. We experimentally investigate these field…

Imaging with a small number of photons

Peter A. Morris, Reuben S. Aspden, Jessica Bell +2

Low-light-level imaging techniques have application in many diverse fields, ranging from biological sciences to security. We demonstrate a single-photon imaging system based on a t…

Optical spin-to-orbital angular momentum conversion in ultra-thin metasurfaces with arbitrary topological charges

Frédéric Bouchard, Israel De Leon, Sebastian A. Schulz +3

Orbital angular momentum associated with the helical phase-front of optical beams provides an unbounded \qo{space} for both classical and quantum communications. Among the differen…

Achromatic orbital angular momentum generator

Frédéric Bouchard, Harjaspreet Mand, Mohammad Mirhosseini +2

We describe a novel approach for generating light beams that carry orbital angular momentum (OAM) by means of total internal reflection in an isotropic medium. A continuous space-v…

Nonlinear optomechanical pressure

Claudio Conti, Robert Boyd

A transparent material exhibits ultra-fast optical nonlinearity and is subject to optical pressure if irradiated by a laser beam. However, the effect of nonlinearity on optical pre…

A "fair sampling" perspective on an apparent violation of duality

Eliot Bolduc, Jonathan Leach, Filippo M. Miatto +2

In the event in which a quantum mechanical particle can pass from an initial state to a final state along two possible paths, the duality principle states that "the simultaneous ob…

Limitations to the determination of a Laguerre-Gauss spectrum via projective, phase-flattening measurement

Hammam Qassim, Filippo M. Miatto, Juan P. Torres +3

One of the most widely used techniques for measuring the orbital angular momentum components of a light beam is to flatten the spiral phase front of a mode, in order to couple it t…
