Recovering topological information of light by topological learning
Benquan Wang, Trishita Das, Yuhan Peng +8
The evolution of modern-day communication networks towards enhanced capacity and robustness is driving interest in topological light wave as a next-generation information carrier.…
High-speed electrically driven liquid-crystal compact optical skyrmion encoder
Yu-Ping Tang, Zhenyu Guo, Ze-Yu Wang +8
Optical skyrmions possess topological polarization textures that can maintain topological robustness under external perturbations, making them promising carriers for disturbance-re…
Non-diffracting meronic spin defects of light
Nilo Mata-Cervera, Miguel A. Porras, Yijie Shen
Optical vortices are singularity lines where the light field intensity vanishes and its phase is undefined. These threads of darkness are adorned by Gauss's law as lines of pure lo…
Unfolding unstable skyrmionic polarization textures
Nilo Mata-Cervera, Zhenyu Guo, Yijie Shen
Polarization of light can form skyrmionic textures, akin to nonlinear solitons in condensed matter, yet their disparate physical context has motivated extensive debate regarding th…

The degradation of classical and quantum structured light induced by complex media constitutes a critical barrier to its practical implementation in a range of applications, from c…
Free-form conformal metasurfaces robustly generating topological skyrmions
Yang Fu, Rensheng Xie, Nilo Mata-Cervera +5
Skyrmions are topologically stable vector textures as potential information carriers for high-density data storage and communications, especially boosted by the recently emerging m…
Diffraction-free natural optical skyrmions and their subwavelength confinement around vortices
Nilo Mata-Cervera, Deepak K. Sharma, Ramon Paniagua-Dominguez +2
Diffraction causes waves to spread out as they propagate freely. The tighter the lateral confinement, the faster the spreading. Past research on how to suppress diffraction has bee…
Optical Skyrmions of Vortex Darkness
Nilo Mata-Cervera, Deepak K. Sharma, Yijie Shen +2
We disclose the existence of a type of optical skyrmion, Gauss-Stokes (GS) skyrmions, that is naturally present in an optical vortex around its phase singularity. Contrary to previ…
Observation of helical pulses
Ren Wang, Shuai Shi, Zeyi Zhang +4
Ultrafast spatiotemporal vortex pulses constitute a category within spatiotemporal topological waves. Nevertheless, the experimental realization of helical pulses single or few cyc…
Photonic torons, topological phase transition and tunable spin monopoles
Haijun Wu, Nilo Mata-Cervera, Haiwen Wang +3
Creation and control of topological complex excitations play crucial roles in both fundamental physics and modern information science. Torons are a sophisticated class of 3D chiral…
