Polarisation Singularities of Gravitational Waves
Claire Rigouzzo, Sebastian Golat, Alex J. Vernon +3
Departure from idealised plane waves gives rise to intricate geometric structures in wave fields. One such structure is the polarisation singularity, which emerges when multiple mo…
Optical multipolar torque in structured electromagnetic fields: on `helicity gradient' torque, quadrupolar torque and the spin of field gradient
Lei Wei, Francisco J. Rodríguez Fortuño
Structured light mechanically interacts with matter via optical forces and torques. The optical torque is traditionally calculated via the flux of total angular momentum (AM) into…
Transverse spinning of unpolarized light
J. S. Eismann, L. H. Nicholls, D. J. Roth +6
It is well known that spin angular momentum of light, and therefore that of photons, is directly related to their circular polarization. Naturally, for totally unpolarized light, p…
Exploiting metamaterials, plasmonics and nanoantennas concepts in silicon photonics
Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño, Alba Espinosa-Soria, Alejandro Martínez
The interaction of light with subwavelength metallic nano-structures is at the heart of different current scientific hot topics, namely plasmonics, metamaterials and nanoantennas.…
Near-Field Directionality Beyond the Dipole Approximation: Electric Quadrupole and Higher-Order Multipole Angular Spectra
J. Enrique Vázquez-Lozano, Alejandro Martínez, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño
Within the context of spin-related optical phenomena, the near-field directionality is generally understood from the quantum spin Hall effect of light, according to which the trans…
Experimental demonstration of linear and spinning Janus dipoles for polarisation and wavelength selective near-field coupling
Michela F. Picardi, Martin Neugebauer, Joerg S. Eismann +4
The electromagnetic field scattered by nano-objects contains a broad range of wave vectors and can be efficiently coupled to waveguided modes. The dominant contribution to scatteri…
