Probing the limits of vortex mode generation and detection with spatial light modulators

Jonathan Pinnell, Valeria Rodriguez-Fajardo, Andrew Forbes

Spatial light modulators (SLMs) are popular tools for generating structured light fields and have fostered numerous applications in optics and photonics. Here, we explore the limit…

Spatial filtering of structured light

Jonathan Pinnell, Asher Klug, Andrew Forbes

Spatial filtering is a commonly deployed technique to improve the quality of laser beams by optically filtering the noise. In the "textbook" example, the noise is usually assumed t…

Revealing the modal content of obstructed beams

Jonathan Pinnell, Saoussene Chabou, Karima Mihoubi +3

In this work, we propose a predictor/indicator of the self-healing ability of coherent structured light beams: the field's modal content. Specifically, the fidelity between the obs…

Experimental quantum secret sharing with spin-orbit structured photons

Michael de Oliveira, Isaac Nape, Jonathan Pinnell +2

Secret sharing allows three or more parties to share secret information which can only be decrypted through collaboration. It complements quantum key distribution as a valuable res…

Experimental 11-dimensional secret sharing with Perfect Vortex beams

Jonathan Pinnell, Isaac Nape, Michael De Oliveira +2

Secret sharing is the art of securely sharing information between more than two people in such a way that its reconstruction requires the collaboration of a certain number of parti…

How Perfect are Perfect Vortex Beams?

Jonathan Pinnell, Valeria Rodriguez-Fajardo, Andrew Forbes

Perfect (optical) vortex (PV) beams are fields which are mooted to be independent of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) they carry. To date, the best experimental approximation of…

Single-Step Shaping of the Orbital Angular Momentum Spectrum of Light

Jonathan Pinnell, Valeria Rodriguez-Fajardo, Andrew Forbes

Control of orbital angular momentum (OAM) in optical fields has seen tremendous growth of late, with a myriad of tools existing for their creation and detection. What has been lack…

Quantitative orbital angular momentum measurement of perfect vortex beams

Jonathan Pinnell, Valeria Rodriguez-Fajardo, Andrew Forbes

Perfect (optical) vortices (PVs) have the mooted ability to encode orbital angular momentum (OAM) onto the field within a well-defined annular ring. Although this makes the near-fi…
