Streak Camera for Strong-Field Ionization

Matthias Kübel, Zack Dube, Andrei Naumov +6

Ionization of an atom or molecule by a strong laser field produces sub-optical cycle wave packets whose control has given rise to attosecond science. The final states of the wave p…

Sorting photons by radial quantum number

Yiyu Zhou, Mohammad Mirhosseini, Dongzhi Fu +4

The Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) modes constitute a complete basis set for representing the transverse structure of a {paraxial} photon field in free space. Earlier workers have shown ho…

Theory of Kerr Instability Amplification

M. Nesrallah, G. Vampa, G. Bart +3

A new amplification method based on the optical Kerr instability is suggested and theoretically analyzed, with emphasis on the near to mid-infrared wavelength regime. Our analysis…

Majorana states for subluminal structured photons

Fabrizio Tamburini, Bo Thidé, Ignazio Licata +2

The speed of light in vacuum, , is a fundamental constant of nature. Photons belonging to a structured beam of finite transverse size, generated by a spatial light modulator, ha…

Generation of Caustics and Spatial Rogue Waves from Nonlinear Instability

Akbar Safari, Robert Fickler, Miles J. Padgett +1

Caustics are natural phenomena in which nature concentrates the energy of waves. Although, they are known mostly in optics, caustics are intrinsic to all wave phenomena. For exampl…

Phase retrieval of an electron vortex beam using diffraction holography

Federico Venturi, Marco Campanini, Gian Carlo Gazzadi +6

In both light optics and electron optics, the amplitude of a wave scattered by an object is an observable that is usually recorded in the form of an intensity distribution in a rea…
