The orbital angular momentum of a turbulent atmosphere and its impact on propagating structured light fields

Asher Klug, Isaac Nape, Andrew Forbes

When structured light is propagated through the atmosphere, turbulence results in modal scattering and distortions. An extensively studied example is that of light carrying orbital…

Vector mode decay in atmospheric turbulence: a quantum inspired analysis

Isaac Nape, Nikiwe Mashaba, Nokwazi Mphuthi +3

Vector beams are inhomogeneously polarized optical fields with nonseparable, quantum-like correlations between their polarisation and spatial components, and hold tremendous promis…

Structured Light in Turbulence

Mitchell A. Cox, Nokwazi Mphuthi, Isaac Nape +3

Optical communication is an integral part of the modern economy, having all but replaced electronic communication systems. Future growth in bandwidth appears to be on the horizon u…

All-Digital Stokes Polarimetry with a Digital Micro-mirror Device

Amogh Manthalkar, Isaac Nape, Najmeh Tabebordbar +4

Stokes polarimetry is widely used to extract the polarisation structure of optical fields, typically from six measurements, although it can be extracted from only four. To measure…

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…
