A Higher-Order Poincaré Ellipsoid representation for elliptical vector beams
Dayver Daza-Salgado, Edgar Medina-Segura, Valeria Rodriguez-Fajardo +2
The Higher-Order Poincaré Sphere (HOPS) provides a powerful geometrical tool for representing vector beams as points on the surface of a unitary sphere. Since a particular position…
Generalized Elliptical Vector modes
Xiao-Bo Hu, Chen-Yu Chen, Qi-Yao Yuan +3
The strong coupling between the spatial and polarisation degrees of freedom (DoF) in vector modes enables a diverse array of exotic, inhomogeneous polarisation distributions throug…
Structured Lightś Applications: A perspective
Carmelo Rosales-Guzmán, Valeria Rodriguez-Fajardo
For the past few decades, structured light has been gaining popularity across various research fields. Its fascinating properties have been exploited for both previously unforeseen…
Young's Double-Slit Interference Demonstration with Single Photons
Bill J. Luo, Leia Francis, Valeria Rodriguez-Fajardo +2
The interference of single photons going through a double slit is a compelling demonstration of the wave and particle nature of light in the same experiment. Single photons produce…
A modal description of paraxial structured light propagation
Hend Sroor, Chane Moodley, Valeria Rodrıguez-Fajardo +2
Here we outline a description of paraxial light propagation from a modal perspective. By decomposing the initial transverse field into a spatial basis whose elements have known and…
Parabolic-accelerating vector waves
Bo Zhao, Valeria Rodríguez-Fajardo, Xiao-Bo Hu +3
Complex vector light fields have become a topic of late due to their exotic features, such as their non--homogeneous transverse polarisation distributions and the non-separable cou…
Experimental generation of Helical Mathieu-Gauss vector modes
Carmelo Rosales-Guzmán, Xiao-Bo Hu, ValeriaRodríguez-Fajardo +3
Vector modes represent the most general state of light in which, the spatial and polarisation degrees of freedom are coupled in a non-separable way. Crucially, while polarisation i…
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…
Lossless reshaping of structured light
Stirling Scholes, Valeria Rodríguez-Fajardo, Andrew Forbes
Structured light concerns the control of light in its spatial degrees of freedom (amplitude, phase and polarization), and has proven instrumental in many applications. The creation…
Angular momentum conservation in counter-propagating vectorially structured light
Hang Li, Valeria Rodriguez-Fajardo, Peifeng Chen +1
It is well-known that electric spin angular momentum and electric orbital angular momentum are conserved under paraxial propagation of travelling waves in free-space. Here we study…
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…
A dimensionality and purity measure for high-dimensional entangled states
Isaac Nape, Valeria Rodrıguez-Fajardo, Feng Zhu +3
High-dimensional entangled states are promising candidates for increasing the security and encoding capacity of quantum systems. While it is possible to witness and set bounds for…
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…
