Deep diffractive optical neural networks for detecting Skyrmionic topologies of light

Hadrian Bezuidenhout, Cade Peters, Ram Kumar +2

Optical Skyrmions are topological forms of structured light with the potential of an infinite encoding alphabet that is immune to disturbance. This attractive prospect is hindered…

Wavelength-adaptive spin-orbit orbital angular momentum management in three-wave mixing

Kiki Dekkers, Mwezi Koni, Vagharshak Hakobyan +5

Here we propose the use of an adjustable liquid crystal spin-orbit device to shape bi-colour structured light to create bimodal states. We demonstrate the proof-of-principle for tw…

Enhanced fidelity in nonlinear structured light by virtual light-based apertures

Sachleen Singh, Isaac Nape, Andrew Forbes

Tailoring the degrees of freedom (DoF) of light for a desired purpose, so-called structured light, has delivered numerous advances over the past decade, ranging from communications…

Emulating a quantum Maxwell's demon with non-separable structured light

Edgar Medina-Segura, Paola C. Obando, Light Mkhumbuza +6

Maxwell's demon (MD) has proven an instructive vehicle by which to explore the relationship between information theory and thermodynamics, fueling the possibility of information dr…
