Efficient post-processing of electromagnetic plane wave simulations to model arbitrary structured beams incident on axisymmetric structures
Jack J. Kingsley-Smith, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño
The study of an optical beam interacting with material structures is a fundamental of nanophotonics. Computational electromagnetic solvers facilitate the rapid calculation of the s…
Roadmap on structured waves
K. Y. Bliokh, E. Karimi, M. J. Padgett +47
Structured waves are ubiquitous for all areas of wave physics, both classical and quantum, where the wavefields are inhomogeneous and cannot be approximated by a single plane wave.…
3D Zeros in Electromagnetic Fields
Alex J. Vernon, Mark R. Dennis, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño
We present a study of 3D electromagnetic field zeros, uncovering their remarkable characteristic features and propose a classifying framework. These are a special case of general d…
Structured transverse orbital angular momentum probed by a levitated optomechanical sensor
Yanhui Hu, Jack J. Kingsley-Smith, Maryam Nikkhou +4
The momentum carried by structured light fields exhibits a rich array of surprising features. In this work, we generate transverse orbital angular momentum (TOAM) in the interferen…
Non-Diffractive 3D Polarisation Features of Optical Vortex Beams
Andrei Afanasev, Jack J. Kingsley-Smith, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño +1
Vector optical vortices exhibit complex polarisation patterns due to the interplay between spin and orbital angular momenta. Here we demonstrate, both analytically and with simulat…
Amplitude and phase control of guided modes excitation from a single dipole source:engineering far- and near-field directionality
Michela F. Picardi, Anatoly V. Zayats, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño
The design of far-field radiation diagrams from combined electric and magnetic dipolar sources has recently found applications in nanophotonic metasurfaces that realize tailored re…
