Designing interferometers within a single optical beam
Bereneice Sephton, Rakhi Thomas, Carlo Schiano +8
Interferometry provides highly sensitive access to optical phase and is central to much of modern metrology and phase imaging methods. Conventional implementations, however, often…
Electrically tunable liquid-crystal metasurfaces with patterned birefringence and dichroism
Paola Savarese, Sarvesh Bansal, Maria Gorizia Ammendola +7
Light propagation through artificially patterned anisotropic materials, such as dielectric metasurfaces, enables precise control of the spatio-vectorial properties of optical field…
Large-scale free-space photonic circuits in two dimensions
Maria Gorizia Ammendola, Francesco Di Colandrea, Lorenzo Marrucci +1
Photonic circuits, engineered to couple optical modes according to a specific map, serve as processors for classical and quantum light. The number of components typically scales wi…
Roadmap on structured waves
K. Y. Bliokh, E. Karimi, M. J. Padgett +47
Structured waves are ubiquitous for all areas of wave physics, both classical and quantum, where the wavefields are inhomogeneous and cannot be approximated by a single plane wave.…
Ultra-sensitive measurement of transverse displacements with structured light
Raouf Barboza, Amin Babazadeh, Lorenzo Marrucci +3
Accurately measuring mechanical displacements is essential for a vast portion of current technologies. Several optical techniques accomplish this task, allowing for non-contact sen…
Measuring the complex orbital angular momentum spectrum and spatial mode decomposition of structured light beams
Alessio D'Errico, Raffaele D'Amelio, Bruno Piccirillo +2
Light beams carrying orbital angular momentum are key resources in modern photonics. In many applications, the ability of measuring the complex spectrum of structured light beams i…
Topological features of vector vortex beams perturbed with uniformly polarized light
Alessio D'Errico, Maria Maffei, Bruno Piccirillo +3
Optical singularities manifesting at the center of vector vortex beams are unstable, since their topological charge is higher than the lowest value permitted by Maxwell's equations…
Generation and dynamics of optical beams with polarization singularities
Filippo Cardano, Ebrahim Karimi, Lorenzo Marrucci +2
We present a convenient method to generate vector beams of light having polarization singularities on their axis, via partial spin-to-orbital angular momentum conversion in a suita…
Polarization pattern of vector vortex beams generated by -plates with different topological charges
Filippo Cardano, Ebrahim Karimi, Sergei Slussarenko +3
We describe the polarization topology of the vector beams emerging from a patterned birefringent liquid crystal plate with a topological charge at its center (-plate). The p…
