Susceptibility to and correction of azimuthal aberrations in singular light beams

B R Boruah, M a a Neil

We show how the effects of azimuthal optical aberrations on singular light beams can result in an intensity modulation in the beam waist or focal point spread function (PSF) that i…

The refractive index and wave vector in passive or active media

P. Kinsler

Materials that exhibit loss or gain have a complex valued refractive index . Nevertheless, when considering the propagation of optical pulses, using a complex is generally i…

Causality-based criteria for a negative refractive index must be used with care

P. Kinsler, M. W. McCall

Using the principle of causality as expressed in the Kramers-Kronig relations, we derive a generalized criterion for a negative refractive index that admits imperfect transparency…

Tight focusing of plane waves from micro-fabricated spherical mirrors

J. Goldwin, E. A. Hinds

We derive a formula for the light field of a monochromatic plane wave that is truncated and reflected by a spherical mirror. Our formula is valid even for deep mirrors, where the a…

Hiding Under the Carpet: a New Strategy for Cloaking

Jensen Li, J. B. Pendry

A new type of cloak is discussed: one that gives all cloaked objects the appearance of a flat conducting sheet. It has the advantage that none of the parameters of the cloak is sin…

Towards visible CW pumped supercontinua

B. A. Cumberland, J. C. Travers, S. V. Popov +1

We report a 1 um continuous wave pumped supercontinuum which extends short of the pump wavelength to 0.65 um. This is achieved by using a 50 W Yb fibre laser in combination with a…
