Dynamic Mueller matrix polarimetry using generalized measurements
Amy McWilliam, Mustafa A. Al Khafaji, Sphinx J. Svensson +2
Mueller matrices provide a complete description of a medium's response to excitation by polarized light, and their characterization is important across a broad range of application…

Theory of paraxial optical Skyrmions
Z. Ye, S. M. Barnett, S. Franke-Arnold +4
Vector light beams, characterised by a spatially varying polarisation, can exhibit localised structures reminiscent of the Skyrmions familiar from the study of magnetic media. We p…

Angular momentum redirection phase of vector beams in a non-planar geometry
Amy McWilliam, Claire Marie Cisowski, Robert Bennett +1
An electric field propagating along a non-planar path can acquire geometric phases. Previously, geometric phases have been linked to spin redirection and independently to spatial m…
