Dynamics of Transverse Spin and Longitudinal Fields of Cylindrical Vector Beams in Optically Active Media
Yuanyang Xie, Alexey Krasavin, Anatoly V. Zayats +1
Due to the inhomogeneous polarisation across the beam profile, cylindrical vector beams interact with optically active media in a complex manner. Here, we analyse evolution of pola…
Universal nondiffractive topological spin textures in vortex cores of light and sound
Elena Annenkova, Andrei Afanasev, Etienne Brasselet
We report universal skyrmionic spin textures in the cores of optical and acoustic vortex beams, described within the framework of Laguerre-Gaussian modes. We analytically demonstra…
Non-Divergent Spinning Substructures Near Acoustic Field Nodes
Andrew Kille, Andrei Afanasev
In this work, we examine the extraordinary behavior of polarization and spin angular momentum (AM) density in the vicinity of longitudinal field zeros in three-dimensional monochro…
New Experimental limit on Optical Photon Coupling to Neutral, Scalar Bosons
A. Afanasev, O. K. Baker, K. B. Beard +6
We report on the first results of a sensitive search for scalar coupling of photons to a light neutral boson in the mass range of approximately 1.0 milli-electron volts and couplin…
Production and detection of very light spin-zero bosons at optical frequencies
A. V. Afanasev, O. K. Baker, K. W. McFarlane +3
The PVLAS collaboration has observed rotation of the plane of polarization of light passing through a magnetic field in vacuum and has proposed that the effect is due to interactio…
